For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (and doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to "GBO" herinafter.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. This is determined by the author when he places a link. * Target - The place where a link leads to. This is the URL copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be unusable as the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ====<u>Shortening the link text</u>==== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 12:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 13:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 14:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ====<u>Shortening the URL</u>==== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a shortened substitute. This is how the process works: # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A short URL version is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the service substitutes the long URL, which sends the reader to the intended page. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some URL-shortening sites: {| |- |[[File:Links~tinyurl-logo.png|link=http://www.xtinyurl.com]]||[[File:Links~bitly-logo.png|link=http://www.xbitly.com]] |- |style="text-align: center"|www.tinyurl.com||style="text-align: center"|www.bitly.com |} <br> ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[File:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: title, warning & conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !The Button Warning - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 19:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 20:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 21:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 22:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, if follows it can be disabled by breaking one or more rules. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor it, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts the any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before post the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most sites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly if WWW is omitted. Some sites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a site that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the site to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141023 4:27 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141023 --CampKohler<br> [[gb-guides/lk~links#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/FS_Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_fs~links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 97147c495c10dbfb770f5c40f3d5f4ad34d7e51b 92 90 2014-10-23T23:50:52Z CampKohler 3383757 Protected "[[Links]]" ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) wikitext text/x-wiki =Links Guide= How to make and use links in the GasBuddy message forum. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ====<u>Tutorial philosophy</u>==== Some have remarked that this tutorial is too technical. For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (and doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to "GBO" herinafter.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. This is determined by the author when he places a link. * Target - The place where a link leads to. This is the URL copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be unusable as the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ====<u>Shortening the link text</u>==== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 12:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 13:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 14:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ====<u>Shortening the URL</u>==== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a shortened substitute. This is how the process works: # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A short URL version is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the service substitutes the long URL, which sends the reader to the intended page. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some URL-shortening sites: {| |- |[[File:Links~tinyurl-logo.png|link=http://www.xtinyurl.com]]||[[File:Links~bitly-logo.png|link=http://www.xbitly.com]] |- |style="text-align: center"|www.tinyurl.com||style="text-align: center"|www.bitly.com |} <br> ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[File:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: title, warning & conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !The Button Warning - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 19:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 20:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 21:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 22:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, if follows it can be disabled by breaking one or more rules. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor it, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts the any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before post the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most sites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly if WWW is omitted. Some sites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a site that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the site to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141023 4:27 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141023 --CampKohler<br> [[gb-guides/lk~links#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/FS_Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_fs~links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 97147c495c10dbfb770f5c40f3d5f4ad34d7e51b 0 16 101 2014-10-25T18:14:02Z CampKohler 3383757 Created page with "=Non-Standard Fuels= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization (GBO) means. ==This page is under construction.==..." wikitext text/x-wiki =Non-Standard Fuels= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization (GBO) means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * Use a forum topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis. Advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Price reporting by means of forum topic== A topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, topics would be created in Local Discussion categories, and not national categories. <br> ==Coverage Areas== * State sites - Geographically-associated members in groups establish reporting coverage areas. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. More densely populated areas may wish to divide their areas of coverage much as is done with metro-areas, but the divided list would be maintained within a single topic. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area use the boundaries ===Possible methods=== * Reposting - Each reporter copies the latest list, edits it by integrating his own report into it and then re-posts the list in a new reply. * Reporting and listing - Each reporter posts his own price report alone. Later another member integrates the latest reports into a comprehensive price list and posts it. * Some combination of the above, depending on the skill levels of the members. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for the for topic (price reporting, updating instructions, etc.) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users must be told the date and time of the latest instructions, so that they can look back through the topic and find them. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new instructions must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ## Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ## Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive and post it. ## Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list The last two would include when and how old reports are to be culled, and the like. # The format for a single price report # The format for a price list # A request that user questions or suggestions be posted as replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. # A list of common elements of reports and lists, such as unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars), selling quantity unit (gallons/liters), time zone to be used and anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats to save space. # And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. Making a single-station price report would consist of posting a message in the report's topic, entering the data in accordance with the format shown in the instructions. Updating a price list would consist of: ## Copying the previous price list from a reply onto the Windows clipboard [Ctrl-C]. ## Pasting the list into Notepad or other simple text editor (avoid MS Word or the like) [Ctrl-V]. ## Copying and pasting price reports into the price list. ## Editing as required to clean up errors in formatting. ## Copying the finished list to the clipboard. ## Pasting the finished list into a message dialog box. ## Posting the message. While editing can be done in a forum message dialog box, it is safer to do it separately in a text editor and when done, transfer it to a message. This is especially true if the 'Net connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. A single-price report might consist of all of these elements separated by forward slashes: # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). # The vendor's name # The vendor's street address # The vendor's cross or near street # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the site's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. # Day and month of the report # Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) # The GBO nickname of the reporting member # Comment number of a comment located below the table If beneficial, separate cash and credit price fields could be used, solving an old problem. Example of a typical price report: [[image:gb-guides/NS_single-report.png]] A member recompiling the price list would integrate all unincorporated single reports into the list in ascending price order and re-post it: [[image:gb-guides/NS_price-list.png]] In this method, there is no attempt to "pretty print" the report, i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns. That could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious and is not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). To prevent longer single reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a report could be shortened, but it would at the cost of information. Any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. ==Reporting Pricing By Means of a Wiki== An alternative to using the forum is to set up a wiki. It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership or it can be left open to the public which makes it susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic is posted in the Local Discussion category with # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function. # An invitation for individual price reports to be posted in the same topic (to be inserted in the wiki by others) for those members who do not wish to edit the wiki themselves. # An invitation for any questions or suggestions about the wiki to be posted in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. ===Using a report table=== In the wiki example price table, below, # Column 1 is called //Old// and is used to indicate an aged price. When a price has aged beyond a certain time, the column is populated with an //X//. When aged beyond a further certain time, the row in the Price Table is deleted. The age criteria to be used would be determined by local consensus. An alternative is to the name the column //Age// and populate it with the number of days at the time of posting. # Column 10 is called #, meaning //See numbered comment below.// This example wiki page uses a simple table followed by free-form comments: ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141023 5:11 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141023 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non_standard.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 44cfdb597ddc84dfa6b296f935d42af59d05fbf5 102 101 2014-10-25T19:17:37Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Draft wikitext text/x-wiki =Non-Standard Fuels= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization (GBO) means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels.

The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area would apply to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ===Scope of tasks=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP).

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Price reporting by means of forum topic== A topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, topics would be created in Local Discussion categories, and not national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements separated by forward slashes: # Cash ($) or credit (c) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a hyphen (-) is substituted to definitely so state. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). # The brand or vendor's name # The vendor's street address # The vendor's cross or near street # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. # Month and day of the report # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) # The GBO nickname of the reporting member # Optional comment number of a comment located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to post the comment with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and comment match and do not conflict with any other report's comment number.) Example 1: $3.98/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 c4.04/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 Example 2: -4.12/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14 Updating a price list would consist of: ## Copying the previous price list from a reply onto the Windows clipboard [Ctrl-C]. ## Pasting the list into Notepad or other simple text editor (avoid MS Word or the like) [Ctrl-V]. ## Copying and pasting price reports into the price list. ## Editing as required to clean up errors in formatting. ## Copying the finished list to the clipboard. ## Pasting the finished list into a message dialog box. ## Posting the message. While editing can be done in a forum message dialog box, it is safer to do it separately in a text editor and when done, transfer it to a message. This is especially true if the 'Net connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Example of a typical price report: [[image:gb-guides/NS_single-report.png]] A member recompiling the price list would integrate all unincorporated single reports into the list in ascending price order and re-post it: [[image:gb-guides/NS_price-list.png]] In this method, there is no attempt to "pretty print" the report, i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns. That could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious and is not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). To prevent longer single reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a report could be shortened, but it would at the cost of information. Any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. ==Reporting Pricing By Means of a Wiki== An alternative to using the forum is to set up a wiki. It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership or it can be left open to the public which makes it susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic is posted in the Local Discussion category with # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function. # An invitation for individual price reports to be posted in the same topic (to be inserted in the wiki by others) for those members who do not wish to edit the wiki themselves. # An invitation for any questions or suggestions about the wiki to be posted in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. ===Using a report table=== In the wiki example price table, below, # Column 1 is called //Old// and is used to indicate an aged price. When a price has aged beyond a certain time, the column is populated with an //X//. When aged beyond a further certain time, the row in the Price Table is deleted.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. System glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts into which authors have invested much time. An alternative precaution is the highlight, copy and paste a message text into a Windows Notepad or Wordpad (select ASCCI .txt file type) and save the file to a drive. This is a good backup in extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. At the very least, the text can kept on the clipboard until a good post is obtained. Example of a typical price report: [[image:ns_single-report.png]] A member recompiling the price list would integrate all unincorporated single reports into the list in ascending price order and re-post it: [[image:gb-guides/NS_price-list.png]] In this method, there is no attempt to "pretty print" the report, i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns. That could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious and is not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). To prevent longer single reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a report could be shortened, but it would at the cost of information. Any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. ==Reporting Pricing By Means of a Wiki== An alternative to using the forum is to set up a wiki. It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership or it can be left open to the public which makes it susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic is posted in the Local Discussion category with # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function. # An invitation for individual price reports to be posted in the same topic (to be inserted in the wiki by others) for those members who do not wish to edit the wiki themselves. # An invitation for any questions or suggestions about the wiki to be posted in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. ===Using a report table=== In the wiki example price table, below, # Column 1 is called //Old// and is used to indicate an aged price. When a price has aged beyond a certain time, the column is populated with an //X//. When aged beyond a further certain time, the row in the Price Table is deleted. The age criteria to be used would be determined by local consensus. An alternative is to the name the column //Age// and populate it with the number of days at the time of posting. # Column 10 is called #, meaning //See numbered comment below.// This example wiki page uses a simple table followed by free-form comments: ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141025 3:36 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141025 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> e42be9bc7a0f1142b9de85fc5c054934d8c0b2ef 107 106 2014-10-25T23:24:35Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ wikitext text/x-wiki =Non-Standard Fuels= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization (GBO) means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== A topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, topics would be created in Local Discussion categories, and not national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement.

Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements separated by forward slashes: # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units).

The use of numbered notes may help in keeping reports short. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 (Cash & credit difference):''</span> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 (Cash & credit no difference):''</span> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14 ===Making an integration report=== An integration report would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Type in the new report(s) where they should fall into order by cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also being input for the vendor. # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Delete any aged-out report lines per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Editing safety tips=== While editing messages is typically done directly in the dialog box, it is safer to do it separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box. This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. An alternative precaution is to highlight, save a message text to Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCCI, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. At the very least, the text can kept on the clipboard until a good post is seen to have been obtained. [[image:ns_single-report.png]] [[image:gb-guides/NS_price-list.png]] ==Reporting Pricing By Means of a Wiki== An alternative to using the forum is to set up a wiki. It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership or it can be left open to the public which makes it susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic is posted in the Local Discussion category with # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function. # An invitation for individual price reports to be posted in the same topic (to be inserted in the wiki by others) for those members who do not wish to edit the wiki themselves. # An invitation for any questions or suggestions about the wiki to be posted in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. ===Using a report table=== In the wiki example price table, below, # Column 1 is called //Old// and is used to indicate an aged price. When a price has aged beyond a certain time, the column is populated with an //X//. When aged beyond a further certain time, the row in the Price Table is deleted. The age criteria to be used would be determined by local consensus. An alternative is to the name the column //Age// and populate it with the number of days at the time of posting. # Column 10 is called #, meaning //See numbered comment below.// This example wiki page uses a simple table followed by free-form comments: ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141025 4:25 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141025 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> d0f899ead74c058400d7b5fcd6fce9f7e1b0e79f 109 108 2014-10-26T20:09:50Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Draft wikitext text/x-wiki =Non-Standard Fuels= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization (GBO) means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements separated by forward slashes: # An optional hypen (-) as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by a hyphen to ## Warn readers that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets while, at the same time, leaving the report in the list ## Warn maintainers that there is an "old" report that should be deleted after an agreed-upon age. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state. # The brand or vendor's name # The vendor's street address # The vendor's cross or near street # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. # Month and day of the report # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) # The GBO nickname of the reporting member # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns. That could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdashafter the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. This increases the difficulty of "pretty printing" if it is attempted. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a report could be shortened, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. #

[[image:ns_single-report.png]] [[image:gb-guides/NS_price-list.png]] ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to using the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership, or it can be left open to the public which makes it susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, ShoutWiki, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one serve the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== ====Manual format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of: datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki><br> (First report in price list) datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki><br> (Second report in price list) datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki><br> (Third report in price list) and so forth. Nothing is required over and beyond the forum method except for the HTML tag, breaking space (<br>) at the end of each report. This required to keep each report on separate lines (else they wind up all in one long line). And that is all their is to it. ====Table format==== In the wiki example price table, below, # Column 1 is called //Old// and is used to indicate an aged price. When a price has aged beyond a certain time, the column is populated with an //X//. When aged beyond a further certain time, the row in the Price Table is deleted. The age criteria to be used would be determined by local consensus. An alternative is to the name the column //Age// and populate it with the number of days at the time of posting. # Column 10 is called #, meaning //See numbered comment below.// This example wiki page uses a simple table followed by free-form comments: ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141026 1:07 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141026 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 939f361b8d9daa5b240b763ca86765e295cba4fe 110 109 2014-10-26T21:14:15Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Draft wikitext text/x-wiki =Non-Standard Fuels= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization (GBO) means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels.

Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state. # The brand or vendor's name # The vendor's street address # The vendor's cross or near street # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. # Month and day of the report # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) # The GBO nickname of the reporting member # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns. That could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdashafter the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. This increases the difficulty of "pretty printing" if it is attempted. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a report could be shortened, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. #

Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. #

Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Delete any aged-out report lines per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. #

No credit/$.35 surcharge for debit except ARCO's<br> ---- ===Editing safety tips=== While editing messages is typically done directly in the dialog box, it is safer to do it separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box. This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. An alternative precaution is to highlight, save a message text to Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCCI, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. At the very least, the text can kept stored on the clipboard until a the posting process has completed. [[image:ns_single-report.png]] [[image:gb-guides/NS_price-list.png]] ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to using the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership, or it can be left open to the public which makes it susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, ShoutWiki, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one serve the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== ====Manual format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of: datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki><br> (First report in price list) datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki><br> (Second report in price list) datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki><br> (Third report in price list) and so forth. Nothing is required over and beyond the forum method except for the HTML tag, breaking space (<br>) at the end of each report. This required to keep each report on separate lines (else they wind up all in one long line). And that is all their is to it. ====Table format==== In the wiki example price table, below, # Column 1 is called //Old// and is used to indicate an aged price. When a price has aged beyond a certain time, the column is populated with an //X//. When aged beyond a further certain time, the row in the Price Table is deleted. The age criteria to be used would be determined by local consensus. An alternative is to the name the column //Age// and populate it with the number of days at the time of posting. # Column 10 is called #, meaning //See numbered comment below.// This example wiki page uses a simple table followed by free-form comments: ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141026 1:07 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141026 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 400caa1536145ae512444bcbe0e73f003359b579 111 110 2014-10-26T21:32:58Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ wikitext text/x-wiki =Non-Standard Fuels= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to GBO hereinafter. # ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested formats=== A report format might consist of all of these elements separated by forward slashes: # An optional hypen (-) as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by a hyphen to ## Warn readers that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets while, at the same time, leaving the report in the list ## Warn maintainers that there is an "old" report that should be deleted after an agreed-upon age. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state. # The brand or vendor's name # The vendor's street address # The vendor's cross or near street # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. # Month and day of the report # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) # The GBO nickname of the reporting member # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns. That could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdashafter the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. This increases the difficulty of "pretty printing" if it is attempted. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a report could be shortened, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short. A price list header could include a title and symbol legend. Example of a price list title line: Boat Fuel Prices for Podunk Legend: a=cash e=credit s=c&c same -=old report Example of a price list header: A report header could precede a price list as a reminder of the report format: OLD/PRICE/VENDOR/ADDRESS/CROSS/ZIP/DATESPOTTED/TIMESPOTTED/MEMBER/NOTE ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report would consist of these steps: #

In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== ====Manual format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of: datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki><br> (First report in price list) datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki><br> (Second report in price list) datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki><br> (Third report in price list) and so forth. Nothing is required over and beyond the forum method except for the HTML tag, breaking space (<br>) at the end of each report. This required to keep each report on separate lines (else they wind up all in one long line). And that is all their is to it. ====Table format==== In the wiki example price table, below, # Column 1 is called //Old// and is used to indicate an aged price. When a price has aged beyond a certain time, the column is populated with an //X//. When aged beyond a further certain time, the row in the Price Table is deleted. The age criteria to be used would be determined by local consensus. An alternative is to the name the column //Age// and populate it with the number of days at the time of posting. # Column 10 is called #, meaning //See numbered comment below.// This example wiki page uses a simple table followed by free-form comments: ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141026 2:32 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141026 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 1c5e0c545e13c7bebd8f40d32bfee597bd8cc51d 112 111 2014-10-26T23:49:21Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Draft wikitext text/x-wiki =Non-Standard Fuels= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to GBO hereinafter. # ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements separated by forward slashes: # An optional hypen (-) as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by a hyphen to ## Warn readers that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets while, at the same time, leaving the report in the list ## Warn maintainers that there is an "old" report that should be deleted after an agreed-upon age. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state. # The brand or vendor's name # The vendor's street address # The vendor's cross or near street # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. # Month and day of the report # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) # The GBO nickname of the reporting member # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns. That could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdashafter the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. This increases the difficulty of "pretty printing" if it is attempted. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a report could be shortened, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 (Cash & credit difference):''</span> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 (Cash & credit no difference):''</span> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14 ===Making an integration report=== An integration report would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Type in the new report(s) where they should fall into order by cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also being input for the vendor. # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Delete any aged-out report lines per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to show any symbols used in the reports. * A report header to show the fields used in the reports.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ARCO's<br> ===Editing safety tips=== While editing messages is typically done directly in the dialog box, it is safer to do it separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box. This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. An alternative precaution is to highlight, save a message text to Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCCI, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. At the very least, the text can kept stored on the clipboard until a the posting process has completed. [[image:ns_single-report.png]] [[image:gb-guides/NS_price-list.png]] ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to using the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership, or it can be left open to the public which makes it susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, ShoutWiki, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one serve the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== ====Manual format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of: datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki><br> (First report in price list) datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki><br> (Second report in price list) datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki><br> (Third report in price list) and so forth. Nothing is required over and beyond the forum method except for the HTML tag, breaking space (<br>) at the end of each report. This required to keep each report on separate lines (else they wind up all in one long line). And that is all their is to it. ====Table format==== In the wiki example price table, below, # Column 1 is called //Old// and is used to indicate an aged price. When a price has aged beyond a certain time, the column is populated with an //X//. When aged beyond a further certain time, the row in the Price Table is deleted. The age criteria to be used would be determined by local consensus. An alternative is to the name the column //Age// and populate it with the number of days at the time of posting. # Column 10 is called #, meaning //See numbered comment below.// This example wiki page uses a simple table followed by free-form comments: ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141026 4:46 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141026 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 8b2416e1ef7436f011a11ee377d81c0599855a4f 117 112 2014-10-29T19:04:52Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Draft wikitext text/x-wiki =Non-Standard Fuels= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to GBO hereinafter. # ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel.

As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements separated by forward slashes: # An optional hypen (-) as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by a hyphen to ## Warn readers that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets while, at the same time, leaving the report in the list ## Warn maintainers that there is an "old" report that should be deleted after an agreed-upon age. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units).

The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns. That could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdashafter the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. This increases the difficulty of "pretty printing" if it is attempted. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a report could be shortened, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 (Cash & credit difference):''</span> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 (Cash & credit no difference):''</span> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14 ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Type in the new report(s) where they should fall into order by cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also being input for the vendor. # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Delete any aged-out report lines per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to show any symbols used in the reports. * A report header to show the fields used in the reports. <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 3:''</code></span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. An alternative precaution is to highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic.<ref>There is a known phenomena where in an author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown.</ref>. Alternatively, if an external drive is not available, the text can be depoisited in an E-mail message and saved as a draft. At the very least, the text can kept stored on the clipboard until a the posting process has completed. [[image:ns_single-report.png]] [[image:gb-guides/NS_price-list.png]] ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to using the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serve the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. ====Freeform format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 4:</code></span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki></code></span>(This is the first report in price list)<br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki></code></span>(This is the second report in price list)<br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki></code></span>(This is the third report in price list)<br> and so forth.</code></span><br> Nothing is required over and beyond the forum method except for the use of HTML breaking space tag (<br>) at the end of each report. This required to keep each report on separate lines (else they wind up all in one long line). And that is all their is to it. ====Table format==== This format enters the data into a nice-looking table. The table consists of # A table-starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A table title # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells to appear. # A header - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by ! except the last on the end). # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all are enclosed by | except the last on the end). <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 4:</code></span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> See instructions posted in the message posted on 20140902 6:03PM<br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=cash e=credit s=c&c same) Price prefix (-=old report)</nowiki><br> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|+Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ' ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of REFLIST template=== The canned REFLIST template can be used to automatically connect the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. This is done in the following steps: # Add the template name {{reflist}} some place on the page before the point where the references are to be placed. This template performs the reference process. # Add the notes at some point in the price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report to be placed below the table.</ref> # Add the label ''Notes:'' for the reader where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Follow the lable with the markup <references /> to tell the template where to place the notes. This results in the notes from the table showing up in a section below. This minimum table shows the effect: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 6:</code></span> <nowiki> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{|</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{{reflist}}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>===Notes:===</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><references /></code></span> </nowiki> The table with notes would look like this: <!--This example must be in the form of an image--> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 7:</code></span> {| |- |This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref> |- |This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref> |} {{reflist}} ===Notes:=== <references /> ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width to a number of pixels=== By default, the width of a column is set by the width of its widest cell. By setting the width of the cells of one row, that row will govern. Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. The width of the cell to be regulated is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the number of pixels. ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141029 10:30 AM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141029 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> add0c6187546b549667e259b570ecd763349c0f8 123 117 2014-10-29T21:30:54Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Draft wikitext text/x-wiki =Non-Standard Fuels= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to GBO hereinafter. # ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements separated by forward slashes: # An optional hypen (-) as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by a hyphen to ## Warn readers that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets while, at the same time, leaving the report in the list ## Warn maintainers that there is an "old" report that should be deleted after an agreed-upon age. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state. # The brand or vendor's name # The vendor's street address # The vendor's cross or near street # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. # Month and day of the report # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) # The GBO nickname of the reporting member # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns. That could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdashafter the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. This increases the difficulty of "pretty printing" if it is attempted. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a report could be shortened, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 (Cash & credit difference):''</span> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 (Cash & credit no difference):''</span> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14 ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Type in the new report(s) where they should fall into order by cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also being input for the vendor. # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Delete any aged-out report lines per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to show any symbols used in the reports. * A report header to show the fields used in the reports. <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 3:''</code></span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. An alternative precaution is to highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic.<ref>There is a known phenomena where in an author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown.</ref>. Alternatively, if an external drive is not available, the text can be depoisited in an E-mail message and saved as a draft. At the very least, the text can kept stored on the clipboard until a the posting process has completed. [[image:ns_single-report.png]] [[image:gb-guides/NS_price-list.png]] ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to using the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serve the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. ====Freeform format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 4:''</code></span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki></code></span>(This is the first report in price list)<br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki></code></span>(This is the second report in price list)<br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki></code></span>(This is the third report in price list)<br> and so forth.</code></span><br> Nothing is required over and beyond the forum method except for the use of HTML breaking space tag (<br>) at the end of each report. This required to keep each report on separate lines (else they wind up all in one long line). And that is all their is to it. ====Table format==== This format enters the data into a nice-looking table. The table consists of # A table-starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A table title # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells to appear. # A header - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by ! except the last on the end). # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all are enclosed by | except the last on the end). <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 4:''</code></span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> <nowiki>Instructions for this price list were posted in a topic ([http://www.gasbuddy.com//Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices") in the local discussion category on 20140902 6:03PM.<br></nowiki> <nowiki>Legend: Price suffixes (a=cash e=credit s=c&c same) Price prefix (-=old report)</nowiki><br> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|+Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ' ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of REFLIST template=== The canned REFLIST template can be used to automatically connect the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. This is done in the following steps: # Add the template name {{reflist}} some place on the page before the point where the references are to be placed. This template performs the reference process. # Add the notes at some point in the price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report to be placed below the table.</ref> # Add the label ''Notes:'' for the reader where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Follow the label with the markup <references /> to tell the template where to place the notes. This results in the notes from the table showing up in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 6:''</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{|</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{{reflist}}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>===Notes:===</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><references /></code></span> The table with notes looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 7:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width to a number of pixels=== By default, the width of a column is set by the width of its widest cell. By setting the width of the cells of one row, that row will govern. Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. The width of the cell to be regulated is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the number of pixels. ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141029 2:24 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141029 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 86729803670136a019ed49f5eb31bba56756c30b 124 123 2014-11-01T00:06:37Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Draft wikitext text/x-wiki =Non-Standard Fuels= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to GBO hereinafter. # ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements separated by forward slashes: # An optional hypen (-) as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by a hyphen to ## Warn readers that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets while, at the same time, leaving the report in the list ## Warn maintainers that there is an "old" report that should be deleted after an agreed-upon age. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns. That could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdashafter the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. This increases the difficulty of "pretty printing" if it is attempted. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a report could be shortened, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the Different Cash & Credit Pricing MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 (Cash & credit difference):''</span><br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 (Cash & credit no difference):''</span><br> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14 ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Type in the new report(s) where they should fall into order by cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also being input for the vendor. # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Delete any aged-out report lines per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to show any symbols used in the reports. * A report header to show the fields used in the reports. <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 3:''</code></span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. An alternative precaution is to highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic.<ref>There is a known phenomena where in an author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown.</ref>. Alternatively, if an external drive is not available, the text can be deposited in an E-mail message and saved as a draft. At the very least, the text can kept stored on the clipboard until the posting process has successfully completed. ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to using the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serve the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. ====Freeform format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 4:''</code></span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki></code></span>(This is the first report in price list)<br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki></code></span>(This is the second report in price list)<br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki></code></span>(This is the third report in price list)<br> and so forth.</code></span><br> Nothing is required over and beyond the forum method except for the use of HTML breaking space tag (<br>) at the end of each report. This required to keep each report on separate lines (else they wind up all in one long line). And that is all their is to it. ====Table format==== This format enters the data into a nice-looking table. The table code consists of # A starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A title # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells to appear. # A header code - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by ! except the last on the end). # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all cells are enclosed by | except the last cell on the end). <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 4:''</code></span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> <nowiki>Instructions for this price list were posted in a topic ([http://www.gasbuddy.com//Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices") in the local discussion category on 20140902 6:03PM.<br></nowiki> <nowiki>Legend: Price suffixes (a=cash e=credit s=c&c same) Price prefix (-=old report)</nowiki><br> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|+Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ' ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of REFLIST template=== The canned REFLIST template can be used to automatically connect the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. This is done in the following steps: # Add the template name {{reflist}} some place on the page before the point where the references are to be placed. This template performs the reference process. # Add the notes at some point in the price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report to be placed below the table.</ref> # Add the label ''Notes:'' for the reader where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Follow the label with the markup <references /> to tell the template where to place the notes. This results in the notes from the table showing up in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 6:''</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{|</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{{reflist}}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>===Notes:===</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><references /></code></span> The table with notes looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 7:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width to a number of pixels=== By default, the width of a column is set by the width of its widest cell. By setting the width of the cells of one row, that row will govern. Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. The width of the cell to be regulated is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the number of pixels. ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141031 4:52 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141031 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to ''GBO'' herinafter.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements separated by forward slashes: # An optional hypen (-) as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by a hyphen to ## Warn readers that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets while, at the same time, leaving the report in the list ## Warn maintainers that there is an "old" report that should be deleted after an agreed-upon age. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns. That could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash;after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. This increases the difficulty of "pretty printing" if it is attempted. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a report could be shortened, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the Different Cash & Credit Pricing MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 (Cash & credit difference):''</span><br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 (Cash & credit no difference):''</span><br> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14 ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Type in the new report(s) where they should fall into order by cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also being input for the vendor. # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Delete any aged-out report lines per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to show any symbols used in the reports. * A report header to show the fields used in the reports. <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 3:''</code></span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. An alternative precaution is to highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic.<ref>There is a known phenomena where in an author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown.</ref>. Alternatively, if an external drive is not available, the text can be deposited in an E-mail message and saved as a draft. At the very least, the text can kept stored on the clipboard until the posting process has successfully completed. ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to using the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serve the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. ====Freeform format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 4:''</code></span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki></code></span>(This is the first report in price list)<br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki></code></span>(This is the second report in price list)<br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>datafield1/datafield2/datafield3 (and so forth) <nowiki><br></nowiki></code></span>(This is the third report in price list)<br> and so forth.</code></span><br> Nothing is required over and beyond the forum method except for the use of HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) at the end of each report. This required to keep each report on separate lines (else they wind up all in one long line). And that is all their is to it. ====Table format==== This format enters the data into a nice-looking table. The table code consists of # A starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A title # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells to appear. # A header code - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by ! except the last on the end). # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all cells are enclosed by | except the last cell on the end). <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 5:''</code></span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> <nowiki>The latest instructions for this price list were posted in a topic ([http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices") in the FloozyvilleGasPrices.com local discussion category on 20140902 6:03PM.<br></nowiki> <nowiki>Legend: Price suffixes (a=cash e=credit s=c&c same) Price prefix (-=old report)</nowiki><br> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|+Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ' ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table showing up in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 7:''</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{|</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{{reflist}}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>===Notes:===</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><references /></code></span> The table with notes looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width to a number of pixels=== By default, the width of a column is set by the width of its widest cell. By setting the width of the cells of one row, that row will govern. Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. The width of the cell to be regulated is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the number of pixels. ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141031 4:52 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141031 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated. # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to ''GBO'' herinafter. # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements separated by forward slashes: # An optional hypen (-) as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by a hyphen to ## Warn readers that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets while, at the same time, leaving the report in the list ## Warn maintainers that there is an "old" report that should be deleted after an agreed-upon age. Or, instead of outright deletion, the price could be replaced with hyphens in order to leave all the other data intact until a new report from the same station is made. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns. That could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash;after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. This increases the difficulty of "pretty printing" if it is attempted. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a report could be shortened, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the Different Cash & Credit Pricing MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 (Cash & credit difference):''</span><br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 (Cash & credit no difference):''</span><br> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14 ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Type in the new report(s) where they should fall into order by cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also being input for the vendor. # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Delete any aged-out report lines per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to show any symbols used in the reports. * A report header to show the fields used in the reports. <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 3:''</code></span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumbdrive(flashdrive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serve on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. ====Freeform format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 4:''</code></span><br> {| class="wikitable" background-color="#e0e0e0" |- |Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ' ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table showing up in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 7:''</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{|</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{{reflist}}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>===Notes:===</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><references /></code></span> The table with notes looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width to a number of pixels=== By default, the width of a column is set by the width of its widest cell. By setting the width of the cells of one row, that row will govern. Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. The width of the cell to be regulated is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the number of pixels. ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141031 4:52 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141031 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements separated by forward slashes: # An optional hypen (-) as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by a hyphen to ## Warn readers that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets while, at the same time, leaving the report in the list ## Warn maintainers that there is an "old" report that should be deleted after an agreed-upon age. Or, instead of outright deletion, the price could be replaced with hyphens in order to leave all the other data intact until a new report from the same station is made. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the Different Cash & Credit Pricing MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 (Cash & credit difference):''</span><br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 (Cash & credit no difference):''</span><br> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14 ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[statename] (or) [metroareaname] discussion'' (as appropriated for your site) on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Type in the new report(s) so that they should be in order by cash price (exception: by order of credit price if there is not a cash price report also being input for the same vendor). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[statename] (or) [metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriated for your site), whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Delete any aged-out report lines per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to show any symbols used in the reports. * A report header to show the fields used in the reports. <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 3:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumbdrive (flashdrive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. ====Freeform format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of:<ref>The blank line after the title is an troublesome artifact of this display and is not necessary in the wiki.</ref><br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 4:''</span><br> <!--This table class defaults to a proportional font which is suitable for an example of system output.

The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table showing up in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 7:''</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{|</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{{reflist}}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>===Notes:===</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><references /></code></span> The table with notes looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width to a number of pixels=== By default, the width of a column is set by the width of its widest cell. By setting the width of the cells of one row, that row will govern. Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. The width of the cell to be regulated is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the number of pixels. ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141101 4:41 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141101 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements separated by forward slashes: # An optional hypen (-) as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by a hyphen to ## Warn readers that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets while, at the same time, leaving the report in the list ## Warn maintainers that there is an "old" report that should be deleted after an agreed-upon age. Or, instead of outright deletion, the price could be replaced with hyphens in order to leave all the other data intact until a new report from the same station is made. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the Different Cash & Credit Pricing MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 (Cash & credit difference):''</span><br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33 <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 (Cash & credit no difference):''</span><br> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14 ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[statename] (or) [metroareaname] discussion'' (as appropriated for your site) on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Type in the new report(s) so that they should be in order by cash price (exception: by order of credit price if there is not a cash price report also being input for the same vendor). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[statename] (or) [metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriated for your site), whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Delete any aged-out report lines per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to show any symbols used in the reports. * A report header to show the fields used in the reports.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumbdrive (flashdrive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. ====Freeform wiki format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above).

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ' ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table showing up in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 7:''</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{|</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{{reflist}}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>===Notes:===</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><references /></code></span> The table with notes looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width to a number of pixels=== By default, the width of a column is set by the width of its widest cell. By setting the width of the cells of one row, that row will govern. Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. The width of the cell to be regulated is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the number of pixels. ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141102 12:38 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141102 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements separated by forward slashes: # An optional hypen (-) as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by a hyphen to ## Warn readers that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets while, at the same time, leaving the report in the list ## Warn maintainers that there is an "old" report that should be deleted after an agreed-upon age. Or, instead of outright deletion, the price could be replaced with hyphens in order to leave all the other data intact until a new report from the same station is made. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''.

It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[statename] (or) [metroareaname] discussion'' (as appropriated for your site) on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Type in the new report(s) so that they should be in order by cash price (exception: by order of credit price if there is not a cash price report also being input for the same vendor). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[statename] (or) [metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriated for your site), whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Delete any aged-out report lines per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to show any symbols used in the reports. * A report header to show the fields used in the reports.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumbdrive (flashdrive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. ====Freeform wiki format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of:<ref>The blank line after the title is an troublesome artifact of this display and is not necessary in the wiki.</ref><br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 4:''</span><br> <!--This table class defaults to a proportional font which is suitable for an example of system output.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ' ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table showing up in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 7:''</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{|</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{{reflist}}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>===Notes:===</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><references /></code></span> The table with notes looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width to a number of pixels=== By default, the width of a column is set by the width of its widest cell. By setting the width of the cells of one row, that row will govern. Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. The width of the cell to be regulated is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the number of pixels. ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141102 12:54 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141102 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard.--> <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> dfc7db17ce4339ce61a1f29b1ca3dc90d7b6dea8 130 129 2014-11-02T21:09:13Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ wikitext text/x-wiki =Non-Standard Fuels= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements separated by forward slashes: # An optional hypen (-) as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by a hyphen to ## Warn readers that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets while, at the same time, leaving the report in the list ## Warn maintainers that there is an "old" report that should be deleted after an agreed-upon age. Or, instead of outright deletion, the price could be replaced with hyphens in order to leave all the other data intact until a new report from the same station is made. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''statename (or) metroareaname discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the Different Cash & Credit Pricing MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 (Cash & credit difference):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br><code></span> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 (Cash & credit no difference):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br></code></span> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[statename] (or) [metroareaname] discussion'' (as appropriated for your site) on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Type in the new report(s) so that they should be in order by cash price (exception: by order of credit price if there is not a cash price report also being input for the same vendor). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[statename] (or) [metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriated for your site), whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard back <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Delete any aged-out report lines per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference row to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. * A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. The input would look like this as the message was being composed: {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>|Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumbdrive (flashdrive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. ====Freeform wiki format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of:<ref>The blank line after the title is an troublesome artifact of this display and is not necessary in the wiki.</ref><br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 4:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ' ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table showing up in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 7:''</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{|</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{{reflist}}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>===Notes:===</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><references /></code></span> The table with notes looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width to a number of pixels=== By default, the width of a column is set by the width of its widest cell. By setting the width of the cells of one row, that row will govern. Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. The width of the cell to be regulated is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the number of pixels. ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141102 1:08 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141102 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated. # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to ''GBO'' herinafter. # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user is shown in a <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospaced typeface with a light gray background</code></span>. # System output is shown as a <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">proportional typeface with a light gray background.</span> # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; all example links are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hypen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets. ## A double-double hypen (-) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have the price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''<nowiki>[statename] (or) [metroareaname]</nowiki> discussion'' on the category index page, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>. # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 (Cash & credit pricing different):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br><code></span> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 (Cash & credit pricing the same):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br></code></span> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[statename] (or) [metroareaname] discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>). # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[statename] (or) [metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>. # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>). # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference row to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. * A report header row to show the fields used in the reports.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumbdrive (flashdrive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. ====Freeform wiki format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of:<ref>The blank line after the title is an troublesome artifact of this display and is not necessary in the wiki.</ref><br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ' ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table showing up in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 11:''</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{|</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{{reflist}}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>===Notes:===</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><references /></code></span> The table with notes looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width to a number of pixels=== By default, the width of a column is set by the width of its widest cell. By setting the width of the cells of one row, that row will govern. Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. The width of the cell to be regulated is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the number of pixels. ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141102 2:05 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141102 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hypen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets. ## A double-double hypen (-) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have the price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''<nowiki>[statename] (or) [metroareaname]</nowiki> discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</code></span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 (Cash & credit pricing different):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 (Cash & credit pricing the same):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[statename] (or) [metroareaname] discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>). # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[statename] (or) [metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>). # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference row to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. * A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. A typical list input would look like this when composed: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>|Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumbdrive (flashdrive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. ====Freeform wiki format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of:<ref>The blank line after the title is an troublesome artifact of this display and is not necessary in the wiki.</ref><br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ' ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table showing up in a separate location.

By setting the width of the cells of one row, that row will govern. Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. The width of the cell to be regulated is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the number of pixels. ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141102 2:14 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141102 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated. # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to ''GBO'' herinafter. # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user is shown in a <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospaced typeface with a light gray background</code></span>. # System output is shown as a <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">proportional typeface with a light gray background.</span> # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; all example links are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hypen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets. ## A double-double hypen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have the price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''<nowiki>[statename] (or) [metroareaname]</nowiki> discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - Cash & credit pricing different:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - Cash & credit pricing the same:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate (or) somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>). # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate (or) somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>). # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference row to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. * A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. A typical list input would look like this when composed: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>|Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumbdrive (flashdrive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. ====Freeform wiki format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of:<ref>The blank line after the title is an troublesome artifact of this display and is not necessary in the wiki.</ref><br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ' ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table showing up in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 11:''</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{|</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{{reflist}}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>===Notes:===</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><references /></code></span> The table with notes looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width to a number of pixels=== By default, the width of a column is set by the width of its widest cell. By setting the width of the cells of one row, that row will govern. Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. The width of the cell to be regulated is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the number of pixels. ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141102 2:32 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141102 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated. # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to ''GBO'' herinafter. # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user is shown in a <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospaced typeface with a light gray background</code></span>. # System output is shown as a <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">proportional typeface with a light gray background.</span> # For reference purposes, examples are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>. <br> ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hypen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets. ## A double-double hypen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have the price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''<nowiki>[statename] (or) [metroareaname]</nowiki> discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - Cash & credit pricing different:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - Cash & credit pricing the same:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate (or) somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>). # Press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>[Enter]</nowiki></code></span> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate (or) somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-A]</code></span>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-C]</code></span>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>). # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference row to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. * A report header row to show the fields used in the reports.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. ====Freeform wiki format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of:<ref>The blank line after the title is an troublesome artifact of this display and is not necessary in the wiki.</ref><br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ARCO's.<br> ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table showing up in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 11:''</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{|</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{{reflist}}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>===Notes:===</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><references /></code></span> The table with notes looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width to a number of pixels=== By default, the width of a column is set by the width of its widest cell. By setting the width of the cells of one row, that row will govern. Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. The width of the cell to be regulated is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the number of pixels. ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141104 7:42 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141104 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hypen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets. ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have the price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - Cash & credit pricing different:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - Cash & credit pricing the same:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (><code>[Ctrl-C]</code). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (><code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference row to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. * A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. A typical list input would look like this when composed: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ARCO's<br> |} ===Editing safety tips=== While editing messages is typically done directly in a forum message's dialog box, it is safer to do it separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box. This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. ====Freeform wiki format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of:<ref>The blank line after the title is an troublesome artifact of this display and is not necessary in the wiki.</ref><br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ARCO's.<br> ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table showing up in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 11:''</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{|</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{{reflist}}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>===Notes:===</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><references /></code></span> The table with notes looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width to a number of pixels=== By default, the width of a column is set by the width of its widest cell. By setting the width of the cells of one row, that row will govern. Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. The width of the cell to be regulated is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the number of pixels. ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141105 1:25 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141105 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics would be created in members' site's local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hypen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets. ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have the price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - Cash & credit pricing different:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - Cash & credit pricing the same:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (><code>[Ctrl-C]</code). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (><code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference row to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. * A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. A typical list input would look like this when composed: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br> ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ARCO's.<br> <br> ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table showing up in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 11:''</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{|</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|-</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>{{reflist}}</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>===Notes:===</code></span> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><references /></code></span> The table with notes looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width to a number of pixels=== By default, the width of a column is set by the width of its widest cell. By setting the width of the cells of one row, that row will govern. Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. The width of the cell to be regulated is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the number of pixels. ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141105 1:35 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141105 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hypen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets. ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have the price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list.

It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (><code>[Ctrl-C]</code). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (><code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added at the top of the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * A title row to describe the fuel being reported. * A reference row to the latest list instructions. * A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. * A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. A typical list input would look like this when composed: <!--Display input for a typical forum price list.--> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ARCO's<br> |} <br> ===Editing safety tips=== While editing messages is typically done directly in a forum message's dialog box, it is safer to do it separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box. This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br> ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. <br> ====Freeform wiki format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of:<ref>The blank line after the title is an troublesome artifact of this display and is not necessary in the wiki.</ref><br> <!--Display input for a typical free-form price list wiki--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ARCO's. <br><br> ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table grouped in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <!--Display input for a wikitable using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 11:''</span> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code><nowiki>{| class="wikitable" |This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref> |- |This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref> |} {{reflist}} ===Notes:=== <references /></code> |}</nowiki> <br> The table with notes looks like this: <!--Display price list using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] <br> ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width=== Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column. Note that if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. * Allowing the system to set the width - By default, the width of a column is set by the width of the widest data in any cell in the column. * Author sets the width by adjusting header - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hypen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets. ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have the price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - Cash & credit pricing different:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - Cash & credit pricing the same:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (><code>[Ctrl-C]</code). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (><code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed: <!--Display input for a typical forum price list.--> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-Se/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br> ===Wiki formats=== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. <br> ====Freeform wiki format==== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of:<ref>The blank line after the title is an troublesome artifact of this display and is not necessary in the wiki.</ref><br> <!--Display input for a typical free-form price list wiki--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaste<nowiki><br></nowiki> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

Temporarily closed until AM of 1004.<br> 14. No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ARCO's. <br><br> ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table grouped in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <!--Display input for a wikitable using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 11:''</span> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code><nowiki>{| class="wikitable" |This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref> |- |This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref> |} {{reflist}} ===Notes:=== <references /></code> |}</nowiki> <br> The table with notes looks like this: <!--Display price list using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] <br> ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width=== Needs work! Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. * The system sets the cell width - By default, the width of a cell is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column. {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! This is a header !! This is an even wider header |- | Some data || Even more data |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141105 4:06 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141105 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated. # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to ''GBO'' herinafter. # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # Examples of keys or key combinations are shown in a <code>monospaced typeface</code>. # System input to be entered by the user is shown in a <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospaced typeface with a light gray background</code></span>. # System or browser output is shown as a <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">proportional typeface with a light gray background.</span> # For reference purposes, examples are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>. <br> ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hypen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets. ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have the price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - Cash & credit pricing different:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - Cash & credit pricing the same:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (><code>[Ctrl-C]</code). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (><code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. <br> ===Freeform wiki format=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method (which see above). This requires no coding skill to speak of:<ref>The blank line after the title is an troublesome artifact of this display and is not necessary in the wiki.</ref><br> <!--Display input for a typical free-form price list wiki--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Forum Topic: [http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ARCO's. <br><br> ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table grouped in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <!--Display input for a wikitable using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 11:''</span> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code><nowiki>{| class="wikitable" |This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref> |- |This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref> |} {{reflist}} ===Notes:=== <references /></code> |}</nowiki> <br> The table with notes looks like this: <!--Display price list using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] <br> ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width=== Needs work! Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. * The system sets the cell width - By default, the width of a cell is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column. {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! This is a header !! This is an even wider header |- | Some data || Even more data |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141105 5:07 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141105 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hypen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets. ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have the price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - Cash & credit pricing different:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - Cash & credit pricing the same:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (><code>[Ctrl-C]</code). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (><code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed: <!--Display input for a typical forum price list.--> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-Se/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. <br> ===The free-form wiki format=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<ref>The blank line seen after the first line of the table is a troublesome artifact of this display and no real blank line is necessary in the wiki.</ref><br> <!--Display input for a typical free-form price list wiki--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: [http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should learn these principles thoroughly: # All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs: ## A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph. ## The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one. # Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, you could type Example 6: report1<br>report2<br>report3<br>report4 and it would appear no different to the reader than if you typed Example 7: report1<br> report2<br> report3<br> report4<br> In other words, separate lines mean nothing per se, and the author is in total control. However, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because # Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags in a row will create it. And that is all their is to it. The finished list appears as: <!--Display output for a typical free-form price list wiki--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6:''</span><br> <!--This table class defaults to a proportional font which is suitable for an example of system output.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ARCO's. <br><br> ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table grouped in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <!--Display input for a wikitable using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 11:''</span> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code><nowiki>{| class="wikitable" |This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref> |- |This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref> |} {{reflist}} ===Notes:=== <references /></code> |}</nowiki> <br> The table with notes looks like this: <!--Display price list using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] <br> ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width=== Needs work! Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. * The system sets the cell width - By default, the width of a cell is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column. {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! This is a header !! This is an even wider header |- | Some data || Even more data |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141105 5:07 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141105 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hypen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets. ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have the price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - Cash & credit pricing different:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - Cash & credit pricing the same:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. <br> ===The free-form wiki format=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: [http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table grouped in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <!--Display input for a wikitable using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 11:''</span> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable" |This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref> |- |This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref> |} {{reflist}} ===Notes:=== <references /> </code> |}</nowiki> <br> The table with notes looks like this: <!--Display price list using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] <br> ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width=== Needs work! Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. * The system sets the cell width - By default, the width of a cell is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column. {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! This is a header !! This is an even wider header |- | Some data || Even more data |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141109 2:13 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141109 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

Resetting the monitor to factory settings should correct this.</ref> # System or browser output is shown as a <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">proportional typeface with a light gray background.</span> # For reference purposes, examples are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>. <br> ==Reporting Non-standard Fuels in General== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hypen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets. ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have the price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - Cash & credit pricing different:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - Cash & credit pricing the same:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been bumped since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-Se/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of use by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. <br> ===The free-form wiki format=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: [http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should learn these principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 7:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ARCO's. |} <!--Display table ends--> ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table grouped in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <!--Display input for a wikitable using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 11:''</span> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable" |This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref> |- |This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref> |} {{reflist}} ===Notes:=== <references /> </code> |}</nowiki> <br> The table with notes looks like this: <!--Display price list using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] <br> ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width=== Needs work! Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. * The system sets the cell width - By default, the width of a cell is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column. {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! This is a header !! This is an even wider header |- | Some data || Even more data |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141109 2:51 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141109 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hypen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets. ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have the price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''.

It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. <br> ===The free-form wiki format=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 7 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page.

This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table grouped in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <!--Display input for a wikitable using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 11:''</span> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable" |This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref> |- |This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref> |} {{reflist}} ===Notes:=== <references /> </code> |}</nowiki> <br> The table with notes looks like this: <!--Display price list using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] <br> ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width=== Needs work! Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. * The system sets the cell width - By default, the width of a cell is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column. {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! This is a header !! This is an even wider header |- | Some data || Even more data |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141109 4:27 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141109 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hypen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets. ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have the price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. <br> ===The free-form wiki format=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 7 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page.

This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table grouped in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <!--Display input for a wikitable using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 11:''</span> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable" |This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref> |- |This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref> |} {{reflist}} ===Notes:=== <references /> </code> |}</nowiki> <br> The table with notes looks like this: <!--Display price list using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] <br> ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width=== Needs work! Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. * The system sets the cell width - By default, the width of a cell is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column. {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! This is a header !! This is an even wider header |- | Some data || Even more data |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141112 3:02 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141112 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hypen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets. ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have the price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity. <br> ===The free-form wiki format=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 7 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not.

No credit accepted/$.35 surcharge for debit except ARCO's.<br> <!--Display table ends--> ====Special spacing requirement in the table for the prices==== Normally, the prices (or any data) could begin immediately after the pipe (|) symbol; no space is required between them. However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), a space is required to prevent the hyphen, if adjacent to the pipe (|) from being interpreted as a new row code. This shows right and wrong: {| class="wikitable" !What you type in Column 1!!How the wiki sees it|| What the wiki does |- | |-4.08a || |- 4.08a ||Starts a new row; eats the hyphen |- | | -4.08a || | -4.08a ||Shows price as intended || |} Thus you would type <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">| -somedata</span> instead of <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">|-somedata</span>, which would be misinterpreted as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">|- somedata</span>. ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table grouped in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <!--Display input for a wikitable using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 11:''</span> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable" |This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref> |- |This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref> |} {{reflist}} ===Notes:=== <references /> </code> |}</nowiki> <br> The table with notes looks like this: <!--Display price list using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] <br> ===Appendix 2 - Regulating column width=== Needs work! Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. * The system sets the cell width - By default, the width of a cell is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column. {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! This is a header !! This is an even wider header |- | Some data || Even more data |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 3 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 4 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Choosing wiki names=== Any name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish this is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides'', ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141112 4:33 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141112 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list. ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> ''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23</code> |} ===The free-form wiki format=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 7 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 8, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page.

First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====A basic table==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described and then usage examples will be given: # A starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A header code - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by an exclamation point (!) except the last one on the end). # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells that are to appear. # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all cells are enclosed by a pipe symbol (|) except the last cell on the end). # An ending code, which ends the table.

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because it will remain more or less constant, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly. The table's header row, by virtue of it's exclamation marks, is bolded by default. ====A table in a page==== Here is the code for a typical page to hold the above table: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 14 - A wiki page (less table) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0 |- |<code> (The code for the table&mdash;Example XX&mdash;goes here.) <nowiki><br></nowiki><br> ''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> ''Legend:'' Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted") ''Related Forum Topic:'' <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices for Blatzburg and N.

However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen, if adjacent to the pipe symbol (|) from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows right and wrongof it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | |-4.08a || |- 4.08a || Starts a new row and eats the hyphen |- | | -4.08a || | -4.08a || Shows price as intended |} Except for this one case of the too-close hypen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words |cat| is the same as | cat | in all cells of the table. ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Bolding format elements=== A format element can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example xx - A bolded freeform line as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-Se/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which appears in the list as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example xx - A bolded freeform line as published:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-Se/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note''' |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing === A format element can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code> |} Which, when published, looks like this: {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station. |} ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table grouped in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <!--Display input for a wikitable using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17:''</span> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable" |This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref> |- |This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref> |} {{reflist}} ===Notes:=== <references /> </code> |}</nowiki> <br> The table with notes looks like this: <!--Display price list using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Needs work! Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. * The system sets the cell width - By default, the width of a cell is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column. {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! This is a header !! This is an even wider header |- | Some data || Even more data |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 7 - Choosing wiki names=== Any wiki name chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141112 ^:42 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141112 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> ''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23</code> |} ===The free-form wiki format=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 7 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 8, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page.

First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====A basic table==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described and then usage examples will be given: # A starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A header code - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by an exclamation point (!) except the last one on the end). # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells that are to appear. # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all cells are enclosed by a pipe symbol (|) except the last cell on the end). # An ending code, which ends the table.

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because it will remain more or less constant, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly. The table's header row, by virtue of it's exclamation marks, is bolded by default. ====A table in a page==== Here is the code for a typical page to hold the above table: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 14 - A wiki page (less table) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0 |- |<code> (The code for the table&mdash;Example XX&mdash;goes here.) <nowiki><br></nowiki><br> ''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> ''Legend:'' Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted") ''Related Forum Topic:'' <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices for Blatzburg and N.

In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in all cells of the table. ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Bolding format elements=== A format element can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example xx - A bolded freeform line as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-Se/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which appears in the list as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example xx - A bolded freeform line as published:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-Se/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note''' |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing === A format element can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code> |} Which, when published, looks like this: {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station. |} ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of ''Reflist'' template=== The canned ''Reflist'' template can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps: # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This results in the notes from the table grouped in a separate location. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <!--Display input for a wikitable using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17:''</span> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable" |This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref> |- |This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref> |} {{reflist}} ===Notes:=== <references /> </code> |}</nowiki> <br> The table with notes looks like this: <!--Display price list using Reflist notes.--> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>Example 8:</code></span> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Needs work! Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. * The system sets the cell width - By default, the width of a cell is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column. {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! This is a header !! This is an even wider header |- | Some data || Even more data |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 7 - Choosing wiki names=== Any wiki name chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141112 7:13 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141112 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===Scope of tasks in forum reporting=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===Beginning the topic=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===User instructions for the topic=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===Suggested report format=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===Making an input-only report=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===Making an integration report=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Making a list maintenance report=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===Suggested price list format=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a Wiki== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other.

This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple and the other of medium complexity.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> ''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23</code> |} ===The free-form wiki format=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 7 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 8, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page.

First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====A basic table==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described and then usage examples will be given: # A starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A header code - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by an exclamation point (!) except the last one on the end). # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells that are to appear. # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all cells are enclosed by a pipe symbol (|) except the last cell on the end). # An ending code, which ends the table. The input typed for a table might look like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 12 - A wiki table (only) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- <!--Begins the code.--> |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable style="background: #e0e0e0"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>!Price!!Vendor!!Address!!Cross St!!ZIP!!Date<br>Spotted!!Time<br>Spotted!!Member!!Note<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -3.68a||ARCO||1670 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1001||12:05PM||Boatfreak33||14</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.98a||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.08e||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.99a||The River Shop||2334 Old River Rd||Hwy 65||75842||1002||7:00PM||Calloway||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -4.01a||Inlet Marine Supply||5089 Marlinspike Rd||Hwy 65||75844||1001||Catfancier||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.13s||Joe's Bilge||7033 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:05PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-<br> <nowiki>| 4.15s||Watersport||6988 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:15PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -- --a||Marine Spot||1700 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||0931||1:14 PM||Flycaster||1</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.23s||The Fern Dock||1656 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||8:00AM||Flycaster||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <!--Ends the code--> |} <!--Display table ends--> Note that each data item is "enclosed" by two pipe symbols (|), except for the last item in the line which needs no closing pipe. The code of Example 12 results in the following table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 13 - A wiki table (only) as published:''</code></span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" !Price!!Vendor!!Address!!Cross St!!ZIP!!Date<br>Spotted!!Time<br>Spotted!!Member!!Note |- | -3.68a||ARCO||1670 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1001||12:05PM||Boatfreak33||14 |- | 3.98a||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33|| |- | 4.08e||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33|| |- | 3.99a||The River Shop||2334 Old River Rd||Hwy 65||75842||1002||7:00PM||Calloway|| |- | -4.01a||Inlet Marine Supply||5089 Marlinspike Rd||Hwy 65||75844||1001||11:10AM||Catfancier|| |- | 4.13s||Joe's Bilge||7033 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:05PM||OldAngler|| |- | 4.15s||Watersport||6988 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:15PM||OldAngler|| |- | -- --a||Marine Spot||1700 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||0931||1:14 PM||Flycaster||1 |- | 4.23s||The Fern Dock||1656 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||8:00AM||Flycaster|| |} As with the free-format method, bolding, italicizing and other tweaks are possible (see Appendix 1 & 2), but it makes the table more complicated, and, for new authors, perhaps too complicated. It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly. The table's header row, by virtue of it's exclamation marks, is bolded by default. ====A table in a page==== Here is the code for a typical page to hold the table of Example 12:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 14 - A wiki page (less table) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <span style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">(The code for the table of Example 12 goes here.)</span><br> <nowiki>''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Legend:'' Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted"<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Related Forum Topic:''[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices for Blatzburg and N.

However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table. ==Appendicies== ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A bolded free-form line as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which appears in the list as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A bolded free-form line as published:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note''' |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code> |} Which, when published, looks like this: {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station. |} ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the principle is the same and the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps:<br> # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This causes the notes typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags in or outside a table to group together in a specified location. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags is deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - Wiki with notes as typed:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"<br> |This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref><br> |-<br> |This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref><br> |}<br> This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref><br> This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref><br> {{reflist}}<br> ===Notes:===<br> <references /><br> |}<br> </nowiki></code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> The resulting data with notes looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 18 - Wiki with notes as published:''</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> ===Notes:===<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> [File:non-standard~table-with-notes.jpg] <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Needs work! Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. * The system sets the cell width - By default, the width of a cell is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column. {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! This is a header !! This is an even wider header |- | Some data || Even more data |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 7 - Choosing wiki names=== Any wiki name chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. ---- ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141113 1:40 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141113 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--Wiki page name factoids: 1.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> ''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23</code> |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 7 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page.

First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A header code - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by an exclamation point (!) except the last one on the end). # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells that are to appear. # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all cells are enclosed by a pipe symbol (|) except the last cell on the end). # An ending code, which ends the table.

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly. The table's header row, by virtue of it's exclamation marks, is bolded by default. <br> ====<u>A table in a page</u>==== Here is the code for a typical page to hold the table of Example 12:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 14 - A wiki page (less table) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <span style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">(The code for the table of Example 12 goes here.)</span><br> <nowiki>''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Legend:'' Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted"<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Related Forum Topic:''[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices for Blatzburg and N.

However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line bolded as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which appears in the list as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line bolded as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word italicized as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which, when published, looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word italicized as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. This template allows a note to be placed in the price report and it will automatically be shown in a separate section placed where the author desires. In addition, at the start of every note, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. The ''Reflist'' template is oriented towards the placement of references, hence the name. In this case, we are placing notes, not references, but the principle is the same and the template does not know the difference. This is done in the following steps:<br> # Insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> at some point on the page before where the notes are to be placed. This calls the template to perform the reference process. # Insert the text for each note at some point in each price report, probably at the end like this: somepricereport<ref>This is a note for the price report that will be displayed in a block below where we choose.</ref> # Insert the label ''Notes:'' (for the reader) where the notes are to appear on the page below the table. # Immediately follow the references code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span> to tell the template where to place all the notes. This causes the notes typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags in or outside a table to group together in a specified location. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags is deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. This is the code for a minimum table to show the effect:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A wiki with notes as typed:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>|-</nowiki> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>{{reflist}}<</nowiki> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki> <nowiki><references /></nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> The result looks like this:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 18 - A wiki with notes as published:''</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> ===Notes:===<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Needs work! Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. * The system sets the cell width - By default, the width of a cell is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column. {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! This is a header !! This is an even wider header |- | Some data || Even more data |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== {| class="wikitable" !______<u>Some header</u>______ |- | Some data data data |- | Some data |} If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 7 - Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The P is case sensitive, but there will be little reason to type this page name, because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive except for the first letter of the name, which defaults to upper case. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141113 5:04 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141113 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> 411c8a6af8642b48790a031cbf76d0f2a648069d 150 149 2014-11-16T22:10:01Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Draft wikitext text/x-wiki =<font face="Book Antiqua">Non-Standard Fuels</font>= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> ''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23</code> |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 7 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. The finished free-form price list page appears as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - A freeform wiki price list as published:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- | Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<br> Related Forum Topic: [http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A header code - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by an exclamation point (!) except the last one on the end). # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells that are to appear. # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all cells are enclosed by a pipe symbol (|) except the last cell on the end). # An ending code, which ends the table. The input typed for a table might look like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 12 - A wiki table (only) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- <!--Begins the code.--> |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable style="background: #e0e0e0"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>!Price!!Vendor!!Address!!Cross St!!ZIP!!Date<br>Spotted!!Time<br>Spotted!!Member!!Note<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -3.68a||ARCO||1670 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1001||12:05PM||Boatfreak33||14</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.98a||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.08e||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.99a||The River Shop||2334 Old River Rd||Hwy 65||75842||1002||7:00PM||Calloway||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -4.01a||Inlet Marine Supply||5089 Marlinspike Rd||Hwy 65||75844||1001||Catfancier||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.13s||Joe's Bilge||7033 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:05PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-<br> <nowiki>| 4.15s||Watersport||6988 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:15PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -- --a||Marine Spot||1700 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||0931||1:14 PM||Flycaster||1</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.23s||The Fern Dock||1656 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||8:00AM||Flycaster||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <!--Ends the code--> |} <!--Display table ends--> Note that each data item is "enclosed" by two pipe symbols (|), except for the last item in the line which needs no closing pipe.

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly. The table's header row, by virtue of it's exclamation marks, is bolded by default. <br> ====<u>A table in a page</u>==== Here is the code for a typical page to hold the table of Example 12:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 14 - A wiki page (less table) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <span style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">(The code for the table of Example 12 goes here.)</span><br> <nowiki>''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Legend:'' Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted"<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Related Forum Topic:''[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices for Blatzburg and N.

However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line bolded as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which appears in the list as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line bolded as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word italicized as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which, when published, looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word italicized as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process. # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is to merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Type the tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags is deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. This is the code to show the effect of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A short wiki with notes as typed:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>|-</nowiki> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>{{reflist}}<</nowiki> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki> <nowiki><references /></nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> The result looks like this:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 18 - A short wiki with notes as published:''</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> ===Notes:===<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== 1. If Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 18 - A table with different column widths as published.</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== {| class="wikitable" !______<u>Some header</u>______ |- | Some data data data |- | Some data |} If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 7 - Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The P is case sensitive, but there will be little reason to type this page name, because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive except for the first letter of the name, which defaults to upper case. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141115 2:09 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141115 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> 5e34c10be6c8f1f4b70d82ab05f12cb401df00d3 151 150 2014-11-21T01:44:15Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Draft wikitext text/x-wiki =<font face="Book Antiqua">Non-Standard Fuels</font>= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels might be: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A header code - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by an exclamation point (!) except the last one on the end). # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells that are to appear. # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all cells are enclosed by a pipe symbol (|) except the last cell on the end). # An ending code, which ends the table.

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly. The table's header row, by virtue of it's exclamation marks, is bolded by default. <br> ====<u>A table in a page</u>==== Here is the code for a typical page to hold the table of Examples 12 & 13:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 14 - A wiki page (less table) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <span style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">(The code for the table of Example 12 goes here.)</span><br> <nowiki>''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Legend:'' Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted"<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Related Forum Topic:''[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices for Blatzburg and N.

However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line bolded as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which appears in the list as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line bolded as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word italicized as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which, when published, looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word italicized as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process. # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is to merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Type the tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags is deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. This is the code to show the effect of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A short wiki with notes as typed:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>|-</nowiki> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>{{reflist}}<</nowiki> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki> <nowiki><references /></nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> The result looks like this:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 18 - A short wiki with notes as published:''</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> ===Notes:===<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== 1. If Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 18 - A table with different column widths as published.</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== {| class="wikitable" !______<u>Some header</u>______ |- | Some data data data |- | Some data |} If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 7 - Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The P is case sensitive, but there will be little reason to type this page name, because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive except for the first letter of the name, which defaults to upper case. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141120 5:43 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141120 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> e9225ec97382acb0d26474b929e3876c3873b9e5 152 151 2014-11-22T01:23:03Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Reporting non-standard fuels in general */ Draft wikitext text/x-wiki =<font face="Book Antiqua">Non-Standard Fuels</font>= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels are: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A header code - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by an exclamation point (!) except the last one on the end). # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells that are to appear. # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all cells are enclosed by a pipe symbol (|) except the last cell on the end). # An ending code, which ends the table.

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly.

However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line bolded as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which appears in the list as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line bolded as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word italicized as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which, when published, looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word italicized as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process. # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is to merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Type the tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags is deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. This is the code to show the effect of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A short wiki with notes as typed:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>|-</nowiki> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki> <nowiki>{{reflist}}<</nowiki> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki> <nowiki><references /></nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> The result looks like this:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 18 - A short wiki with notes as published:''</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> ===Notes:===<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== 1. If Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 18 - A table with different column widths as published.</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== {| class="wikitable" !______<u>Some header</u>______ |- | Some data data data |- | Some data |} If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 7 - Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The P is case sensitive, but there will be little reason to type this page name, because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive except for the first letter of the name, which defaults to upper case. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. ==Notes:== <references /> ''Version:'' 20141120 5:43 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141120 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> 5f03e16f2efb9e9ea1d5aa7211c8cccac1ce4e35 153 152 2014-11-22T21:34:12Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Draft wikitext text/x-wiki =<font face="Book Antiqua">Non-Standard Fuels</font>= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels are: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A header code - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by an exclamation point (!) except the last one on the end). # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells that are to appear. # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all cells are enclosed by a pipe symbol (|) except the last cell on the end). # An ending code, which ends the table.

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly. The table's header row, by virtue of it's exclamation marks, is bolded by default. <br> ====<u>A table in a page</u>==== Here is the code for a typical page to hold the table of Examples 12 & 13:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 14 - A wiki page (less table) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <span style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">(The code for the table of Example 12 goes here.)</span><br> <nowiki>''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Legend:'' Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted"<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Related Forum Topic:''[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices for Blatzburg and N.

However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line bolded as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which appears in the list as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line bolded as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word italicized as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which, when published, looks like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word italicized as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process. # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is to merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Type the tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags is deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. This is the code to show the effect of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes as typed:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> The result looks like this:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes as published:''</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> ===Notes:===<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== 1. If Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths as published.</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== {| class="wikitable" !______<u>Some header</u>______ |- | Some data data data |- | Some data |} If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 7 - Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The P is case sensitive, but there will be little reason to type this page name, because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive except for the first letter of the name, which defaults to upper case. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 20141122 1:33 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141122 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> 84d8fc4f0c24a49571f764780bbdff20a544739a 154 153 2014-11-22T22:06:42Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Draft wikitext text/x-wiki =<font face="Book Antiqua">Non-Standard Fuels</font>= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels are: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A header code - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by an exclamation point (!) except the last one on the end). # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells that are to appear. # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all cells are enclosed by a pipe symbol (|) except the last cell on the end). # An ending code, which ends the table.

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly. The table's header row, by virtue of it's exclamation marks, is bolded by default. <br> ====<u>A table in a page</u>==== Here is the code for a typical page to hold the table of Examples 12 & 13:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 14 - A wiki page (less table) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <span style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">(The code for the table of Example 12 goes here.)</span><br> <nowiki>''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Legend:'' Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted"<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Related Forum Topic:''[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices for Blatzburg and N.

This is explained in the next section. ====<u>A warning about the special spacing requirement in the table for prices</u>==== Normally, the data in a table cell could begin immediately after the pipe (|) symbol; no space is required between them. However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line bolded as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line bolded as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word italicized as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word italicized as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process.<ref>It may be that once a template is called, the template code itself may be deleted from a wiki page and the template will still function. There is no guarantee that the template will function later in a different session. Therefore, the template code should always be present on every page on which it is needed.</ref> # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is to merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Type the tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags is deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. This is a minimal example to show the appearance of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes as typed:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> Which renders as:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes as published:''</span>:</code></span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<br> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> Notes:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <span style="color: red">Template:Reflist</span> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths as published.</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== {| class="wikitable" !______<u>Some header</u>______ |- | Some data data data |- | Some data |} If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 7 - Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The P is case sensitive, but there will be little reason to type this page name, because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive except for the first letter of the name, which defaults to upper case. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 20141122 2:06 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141122 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> 7cc3f5d701c497a0d86bc62f244b4621e8414670 155 154 2014-11-22T22:39:15Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Draft wikitext text/x-wiki =<font face="Book Antiqua">Non-Standard Fuels</font>= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. ==This page is under construction.== You'll just have to wait. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels are: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A header code - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by an exclamation point (!) except the last one on the end). # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells that are to appear. # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all cells are enclosed by a pipe symbol (|) except the last cell on the end). # An ending code, which ends the table.

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly. The table's header row, by virtue of it's exclamation marks, is bolded by default. <br> ====<u>A table in a page</u>==== Here is the code for a typical page to hold the table of Examples 12 & 13:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 14 - A wiki page (less table) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <span style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">(The code for the table of Example 12 goes here.)</span><br> <nowiki>''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Legend:'' Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted"<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Related Forum Topic:''[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices for Blatzburg and N.

This is explained in the next section. ====<u>A warning about the special spacing requirement in the table for prices</u>==== Normally, the data in a table cell could begin immediately after the pipe (|) symbol; no space is required between them. However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using E-mail to publish price lists== It can be argued that the forum and wiki methods are preferable to using E-mail, because the lists may be viewed at any time, whereas users must wait for the arrival of an E-mailed price list. However, a common E-mail account may overcome this. This method may simply mimic the forum method with the exception of the latest instructions appearing in the forum topic which advertizes the list. All techniques not available in the forum, but which are available to E-mails, e.g. HTML, HTML entities, bolding, italics, etc. may be used. One user would copy the previous list to the next one, incorporating his latest reports. The E-mail subject line should begin with the date-time group of the list. This will make it easier for users to manage their inboxes by deleting old lists. ===A common E-mail account== Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list. Procedures would need to be adopted to guide users in doing list maintenance. If a single E-mail account is created and used by all users, these problems would not exist, however limiting access to the account might be required to prevent vandalism. Perhaps newbies, after a probationary period of making reports and receiving them in their own accounts, could be awarded access to the common account. ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line bolded as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line bolded as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word italicized as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word italicized as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process.<ref>It may be that once a template is called, the template code itself may be deleted from a wiki page and the template will still function. There is no guarantee that the template will function later in a different session. Therefore, the template code should always be present on every page on which it is needed.</ref> # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is to merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Type the tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags is deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. This is a minimal example to show the appearance of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes as typed:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> Which renders as:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes as published:''</span>:</code></span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<br> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> Notes:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <span style="color: red">Template:Reflist</span> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Several methods may be used to set the minimum width of column, all of which are based on adjusting at least one&mdash;the widest&mdash;cell within the column. But if the width is regulated by the author, the author must continually do so as the width of the data varies from time to time; such attention to detail may be too much when several authors are involved. One author can manage it, because the adjustments become second nature with experience. Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths as published.</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} * The author sets the width by adjusting a header cell width - Typically the cells of the header are used to set the widths of the columns of the table. For example underscores (_) could be used on either side of a header cell's text in order to make it's width&mdash;and thus that of the column&mdash;pleasingly wide enough. * Author sets the width by declaration - The width of the header cell to be regulated is preceded by the code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope="col" width="NNpx"</code></span>, where NN is the width in pixels. <br> ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code></span> before the data. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Enlarging a cell to fill the width of the table.=== {| class="wikitable" !______<u>Some header</u>______ |- | Some data data data |- | Some data |} If some data is to be stretched across an entire row, the data is preceded by <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>scope yadda|</code></span>. <br> ===Appendix 7 - Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use ''guides'', but likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The P is case sensitive, but there will be little reason to type this page name, because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive except for the first letter of the name, which defaults to upper case. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 20141122 2:36 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20141122 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> e9a7ea85d6f519ae304736e3cccc483b1c36b7b0 0 1 156 122 2015-01-03T22:19:20Z CampKohler 3383757 /* GasBuddy User Guides */ Update wikitext text/x-wiki [[#top]] <!--Always edit the top section, which will edit the entire page.

If you are using a mobile phone app, the most likely reason that you can't find an existing station is that the Station Status field contained in the station's record in the Master Station List (MLS) has blocked the station's appearance, that is, the station is missing from lists and maps and is therefore invisible to the user. Here are the possible Station Statuses and how they effect stations' appearance in the mobile apps: {| class=wikitable |- !Station Status !Status Meaning !Appear? ! Future expected action |- | Active / Open for business || Fuel is being sold || Yes || None |- | Closed - Temporarily || Expected to reopen as fuel seller sooner or later || No || Change to Active later |- | Closed - Permanently || Fuel selling facilities destroyed. || No || None |- | Deleted - Duplicate || Record created in error; a good record exists || No || None |- | Deleted - Abuse/Fake || A malicious record; a good record may exist || No || None |- | Deleted - Other || (This status has not been seen.) || No || None |} As you can see, the Station Status field in the MLS record would need to be consulted for a definitive answer. If there is no record, then one would need to be added. To ask for help in determining the true status, use the message-posting instructions in Part 1 of the next section.<br><br> ==Adding a Station== #Until you have earned 10,000 points (see how [http://www.gasbuddy.com/Member_Info.aspx here]), you do not have the ability to change the MLS. You can ask a Sr. Member to do it for you by posting a new topic in the local discussion category of the forum. Here's how:<br><br> ## Click the ''Forum'' tab on the banner menu (at the top of every full-site page). ## Click the yellow-starred ''[your-site-name-here] discussion'' category, to open the ''Topic Index'' page. This is where you communicate with the members of your assigned GBO site. ## Click the ''Post New Topic'' button to open title and text dialog boxes. You will compose a message to your local members here. ## In the narrow title box at the top, type a title that will distinguish your topic from all others, e.g. "Request to add station in BoPeep, MI." Compose this carefully, because after five minutes it cannot be changed. Avoid titles that will not convey the topic meaning, e.g. "Newbie needs help." TIP: You may have to type a few letters in the text box in order to get the title box to accept input. ## In the fat text box at the bottom, which will become the so-called Original Post (OP) of the topic, request that a Sr. Member add the station for you. Include as much of the data as you can obtain that would appear in the station record. A blank record form can be seen [[Blank-edit-form|here]]. ## After five minutes passes from clicking the ''Post Message'' button, you will no longer be able to edit the OP. However you can create as many replies to the OP as you wish in order to supply additional data, to supply corrections, or even enter an amended version of the data. Hopefully a local member will respond to your topic and add the data for you, possibly asking for more details.<br><br> #After you have earned 10,000 points and become a Sr. Member, you will be able to access and edit the MLS yourself:<br><br> ## Review a [[Blank-edit-form|blank edit form]] and gather the necessary data. ## Log in to your GBO full site. ## Click the ''Gas Prices'' tab in the menu banner (at the top of every full-site page). ## Click the menu item ''Master Station List'', producing the MSL home page. ## Click the ''CLICK HERE TO ADD A NEW STATION'' button to bring up the ''Add a New Station'' page. ## Enter the station data and click ''Add Station''. Or if you have sufficient doubt about something, you can click the ''Cancel'' button and seek further information from your local members. Also, for general procedural questions (not pertaining to local matters, in which case the locals should be consulted), you can inquire in the national Talk Back to Us category. ## After adding a station, you can review your work in several ways, all involving looking at the station's MLS ''Edit'' page; no changes occur unless you click ''Save Updated Station Information''. ::::* From the MSL page, use the ''Search the list for your station'' section to search for the record. ::::# Until you learn the finer points of the search, enter as little as data as necessary to define the station, e.g. ''Station [Name]'' and a word of the station's ''[Exact] Street [Address]''.<ref>Names of site pages and parts thereof are not always consistent throughout the site. Where incomplete names (in the author's opinion) appear, they are shown in this guide accompanied by completing words in square brackets ([) and (]). For example, ''Station'' in the MLS search menu is ''Station Name'' in MLS records, and so could be expressed as ''Station [Name]'' for clarity.</ref> ::::# Click the ''Find My Station'' button to produce a list of all stations meeting the entered criteria. ::::# Examine the one or several pages of stations to find the desired station. ::::# Click the ''Edit'' button of the desired station record to produce the ''Edit'' page. ::::* From any price list where the station can be seen, click the Station Name and, from the resulting ''Station Detail Page'', click the ''Update Station Features'' button to produce the ''Edit'' page. ::::* From the ''Map Gas Prices'' map, selected from the ''Maps'' tab of the banner menu and properly positioned, locate the station. ::::# Click the station's marker to open a balloon. ::::# Click the ''View Details'' button to open the ''Station Detail'' page. ::::# Click the ''Update Station Features'' button to open the ''Edit'' page. ==Changing Existing MLS Station Records== The procedure is much like adding a station.

If you are using a mobile phone app, the most likely reason that you can't find an existing station is that the ''Station Status'' field contained in the station's record in the ''Master Station List'' (MLS) has blocked the station's appearance, that is, the station is missing from lists and maps and is therefore invisible to the user.

You can ask a Sr. Member to do it for you by posting a new topic in the local discussion category of the forum. Here's how:<br><br> ## Click the ''Forum'' tab on the banner menu (at the top of every full-site page). ## Click the yellow-starred ''[your-site-name-here] discussion'' category, to open the ''Topic Index'' page. This is where you communicate with the members of your assigned GBO site. ## Click the ''Post New Topic'' button to open title and text dialog boxes. You will compose a message to your local members here. ## In the narrow title box at the top, type a title that will distinguish your topic from all others, e.g. "Request to add station in BoPeep, MI." Compose this carefully, because after five minutes it cannot be changed. Avoid titles that will not convey the topic meaning, e.g. "Newbie needs help." TIP: You may have to type a few letters in the text box in order to get the title box to accept input. ## In the fat text box at the bottom, which will become the so-called Original Post (OP) of the topic, request that a Sr. Member add the station for you. Include as much of the data as you can obtain that would appear in the station record. A blank record form can be seen [[Blank-edit-form|here]]. ## After five minutes passes from clicking the ''Post Message'' button, you will no longer be able to edit the OP. However you can create as many replies to the OP as you wish in order to supply additional data, to supply corrections, or even enter an amended version of the data. Hopefully a local member will respond to your topic and add the data for you, possibly asking for more details.<br><br> #After you have earned 10,000 points and become a Sr. Member, you will be able to access and edit the MLS yourself:<br><br> ## Review a [[Blank-edit-form|blank edit form]] and gather the necessary data. ## Log in to your GBO full site. ## Click the ''Gas Prices'' tab in the menu banner (at the top of every full-site page). ## Click the menu item ''Master Station List'', producing the MSL home page. ## Click the ''CLICK HERE TO ADD A NEW STATION'' button to bring up the ''Add a New Station'' page. ## Enter the station data and click ''Add Station''. Or if you have sufficient doubt about something, you can click the ''Cancel'' button and seek further information from your local members. Also, for general procedural questions (not pertaining to local matters, in which case the locals should be consulted), you can inquire in the national Talk Back to Us category. ## After adding a station, you can review your work in several ways, all involving looking at the station's MLS ''Edit'' page; no changes occur unless you click ''Save Updated Station Information''. ::::* From the MSL page, use the ''Search the list for your station'' section to search for the record. ::::# Until you learn the finer points of the search, enter as little as data as necessary to define the station, e.g. ''Station [Name]'' and a word of the station's ''[Exact] Street [Address]''.<ref>Names of site pages and parts thereof are not always consistent throughout the site.

The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated. # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to ''GBO'' herinafter. # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # Examples of keys or key combinations are shown in a <code>monospaced typeface</code>. <!--To provide background color, this wiki uses single-cell tables with light-gray backgrounds to enclose examples as it gives much more easily readable examples than individual lines with the same background color. Thus examples of tables are enclosed in single-cell tables. These example tables are commented in the code as follows: "Display table starts" or "Display table ends". Where an example is an actual table, the actual table appears normally, except color is added.--> # System input to be entered by the user is shown in a <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospaced typeface with a light gray background</code></span>.<ref>Under some monitor settings, the light gray background may appear to be washed out to white, so the examples will not stand out as well. Resetting the monitor to factory settings should correct this.</ref> # System or browser output is shown as a <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">proportional typeface with a light gray background.</span> # For reference purposes, examples are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>. <br> ==Reporting non-standard fuels in general== A sufficient number of members interested in the prices of certain fuels in their area may benefit from a means of reporting and searching for prices of those fuels. These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels are: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A header code - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by an exclamation point (!) except the last one on the end). # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells that are to appear. # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all cells are enclosed by a pipe symbol (|) except the last cell on the end). # An ending code, which ends the table. The input typed for a table might look like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 12 - A wiki table (only) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- <!--Begins the code.--> |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable style="background: #e0e0e0"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>!Price!!Vendor!!Address!!Cross St!!ZIP!!Date<br>Spotted!!Time<br>Spotted!!Member!!Note<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -3.68a||ARCO||1670 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1001||12:05PM||Boatfreak33||14</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.98a||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.08e||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.99a||The River Shop||2334 Old River Rd||Hwy 65||75842||1002||7:00PM||Calloway||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -4.01a||Inlet Marine Supply||5089 Marlinspike Rd||Hwy 65||75844||1001||Catfancier||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.13s||Joe's Bilge||7033 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:05PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-<br> <nowiki>| 4.15s||Watersport||6988 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:15PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -- --a||Marine Spot||1700 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||0931||1:14 PM||Flycaster||1</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.23s||The Fern Dock||1656 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||8:00AM||Flycaster||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <!--Ends the code--> |} <!--Display table ends--> Note that each data item is "enclosed" by two pipe symbols (|), except for the first item, which has not item preceding it, and the last item in the line which needs no closing pipe (it is assumed by the system). Example 12 renders as:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 13 - A wiki table (only) as published:''</code></span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" !Price!!Vendor!!Address!!Cross St!!ZIP!!Date<br>Spotted!!Time<br>Spotted!!Member!!Note |- | -3.68a||ARCO||1670 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1001||12:05PM||Boatfreak33||14 |- | 3.98a||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33|| |- | 4.08e||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33|| |- | 3.99a||The River Shop||2334 Old River Rd||Hwy 65||75842||1002||7:00PM||Calloway|| |- | -4.01a||Inlet Marine Supply||5089 Marlinspike Rd||Hwy 65||75844||1001||11:10AM||Catfancier|| |- | 4.13s||Joe's Bilge||7033 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:05PM||OldAngler|| |- | 4.15s||Watersport||6988 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:15PM||OldAngler|| |- | -- --a||Marine Spot||1700 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||0931||1:14 PM||Flycaster||1 |- | 4.23s||The Fern Dock||1656 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||8:00AM||Flycaster|| |} As with the free-format method, bolding, italicizing and other tweaks are possible (see Appendix 1 & 2), but it makes the table more complicated, and, for new authors, perhaps too complicated. It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly. The table's header row, by virtue of it's exclamation marks, is bolded by default. <br> ====<u>A table in a page</u>==== Here is the code for a typical page to hold the table of Examples 12 & 13:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 14 - A wiki page (less table) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <span style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">(The code for the table of Example 12 goes here.)</span><br> <nowiki>''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Legend:'' Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted"<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Related Forum Topic:''[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices for Blatzburg and N.

This is explained in the next section. ====<u>A warning about the special spacing requirement in the table for prices</u>==== Normally, the data in a table cell could begin immediately after the pipe (|) symbol; no space is required between them. However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using E-mail to publish price lists== It can be argued that the forum and wiki methods are preferable to using E-mail, because the lists may be viewed at any time, whereas users must wait for the arrival of an E-mailed price list. However, a common E-mail account may overcome this. This method may simply mimic the forum method with the exception of the latest instructions appearing in the forum topic which advertizes the list. All techniques not available in the forum, but which are available to E-mails, e.g. HTML, HTML entities, bolding, italics, etc. may be used. One user would copy the previous list to the next one, incorporating his latest reports. The E-mail subject line should begin with the date-time group of the list. This will make it easier for users to manage their inboxes by deleting old lists. ==Using a common E-mail account== Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list. Procedures would need to be adopted to guide users in doing list maintenance. If a single E-mail account is created and used by all users, these problems would not exist, however limiting access to the account might be required to prevent vandalism. Perhaps newbies, after a probationary period of making reports and receiving them in their own accounts, could be awarded access to the common account. ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line shown marked up to be bolded as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line shown bolded as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word shown marked up to be italicized as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word shown italicized when published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process.<ref>It may be that once a template is called, the template code itself may be deleted from a wiki page and the template will still function. There is no guarantee that the template will function later in a different session. Therefore, the template code should always be present on every page on which it is needed.</ref> # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is to merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Type the tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags is deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. This is a minimal example to show the appearance of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes as typed:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> Which renders as:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes as published:''</span>:</code></span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<br> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> Notes:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <span style="color: red">Template:Reflist</span> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths as published.</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} There are several methods of governing the width of a column, but by letting the system do it, it may be more readable on different devices, such as smartphones, because the browsers can adjust how the columns are viewed. Anyone seeking to adjust columns manually may contact the author. ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code>before the data and </span> following it. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Choosing Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use the name ''guides'', but there are likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The M and the P case sensitive, but it shouldn't matter, because there will be little reason to type this page name. This is because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive except for the first letter of the name, which is non-case-sensitive. Thus ''cat'' is the same as ''Cat''. but ''CAT'' will fail because the ''AT'' will not be recognized like the ''C'' will. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. If this precaution is taken, except for ''Main_Page"". all names can be typed lower case. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 20150113 4:42 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20150113 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> dc46c384d0fe1bce9cf5267fa2a71b1dfe279ab7 186 185 2015-01-14T01:15:01Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Published wikitext text/x-wiki =<font face="Book Antiqua">Non-Standard Fuels</font>= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels are: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * CNG * Kerosine <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a most useful size. Members in these areas would form groups and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis and advertise the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Using the forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''somestate discussion'' or ''somemetroarea discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Press ''Post Message''. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A header code - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by an exclamation point (!) except the last one on the end). # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells that are to appear. # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all cells are enclosed by a pipe symbol (|) except the last cell on the end). # An ending code, which ends the table. The input typed for a table might look like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 12 - A wiki table (only) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- <!--Begins the code.--> |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable style="background: #e0e0e0"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>!Price!!Vendor!!Address!!Cross St!!ZIP!!Date<br>Spotted!!Time<br>Spotted!!Member!!Note<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -3.68a||ARCO||1670 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1001||12:05PM||Boatfreak33||14</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.98a||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.08e||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.99a||The River Shop||2334 Old River Rd||Hwy 65||75842||1002||7:00PM||Calloway||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -4.01a||Inlet Marine Supply||5089 Marlinspike Rd||Hwy 65||75844||1001||Catfancier||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.13s||Joe's Bilge||7033 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:05PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-<br> <nowiki>| 4.15s||Watersport||6988 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:15PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -- --a||Marine Spot||1700 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||0931||1:14 PM||Flycaster||1</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.23s||The Fern Dock||1656 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||8:00AM||Flycaster||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <!--Ends the code--> |} <!--Display table ends--> Note that each data item is "enclosed" by two pipe symbols (|), except for the first item, which has not item preceding it, and the last item in the line which needs no closing pipe (it is assumed by the system).

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly. The table's header row, by virtue of it's exclamation marks, is bolded by default. <br> ====<u>A table in a page</u>==== Here is the code for a typical page to hold the table of Examples 12 & 13:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 14 - A wiki page (less table) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <span style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">(The code for the table of Example 12 goes here.)</span><br> <nowiki>''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Legend:'' Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted"<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Related Forum Topic:''[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices for Blatzburg and N.

This is explained in the next section. ====<u>A warning about the special spacing requirement in the table for prices</u>==== Normally, the data in a table cell could begin immediately after the pipe (|) symbol; no space is required between them. However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using E-mail to publish price lists== It can be argued that the forum and wiki methods are preferable to using E-mail, because the lists may be viewed at any time, whereas users must wait for the arrival of an E-mailed price list. However, a common E-mail account may overcome this. This method may simply mimic the forum method with the exception of the latest instructions appearing in the forum topic which advertizes the list. All techniques not available in the forum, but which are available to E-mails, e.g. HTML, HTML entities, bolding, italics, etc. may be used. One user would copy the previous list to the next one, incorporating his latest reports. The E-mail subject line should begin with the date-time group of the list. This will make it easier for users to manage their inboxes by deleting old lists. ==Using a common E-mail account== Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list. Procedures would need to be adopted to guide users in doing list maintenance. If a single E-mail account is created and used by all users, these problems would not exist, however limiting access to the account might be required to prevent vandalism. Perhaps newbies, after a probationary period of making reports and receiving them in their own accounts, could be awarded access to the common account. ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line shown marked up to be bolded as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line shown bolded as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word shown marked up to be italicized as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word shown italicized when published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process.<ref>It may be that once a template is called, the template code itself may be deleted from a wiki page and the template will still function. There is no guarantee that the template will function later in a different session. Therefore, the template code should always be present on every page on which it is needed.</ref> # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is to merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Type the tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags is deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. This is a minimal example to show the appearance of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes as typed:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0e" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> Which renders as:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes as published:''</span>:</code></span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<br> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> Notes:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <span style="color: red">Template:Reflist</span> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths as published.</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} There are several methods of governing the width of a column, but by letting the system do it, it may be more readable on different devices, such as smartphones, because the browsers can adjust how the columns are viewed. Anyone seeking to adjust columns manually may contact the author. ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code>before the data and </span> following it. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Choosing Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use the name ''guides'', but there are likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The M and the P case sensitive, but it shouldn't matter, because there will be little reason to type this page name. This is because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive except for the first letter of the name, which is non-case-sensitive. Thus ''cat'' is the same as ''Cat''. but ''CAT'' will fail because the ''AT'' will not be recognized like the ''C'' will. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. If this precaution is taken, except for ''Main_Page''. all names can be typed lower case. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 20150113 4:42 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20150113 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> da07dad4ef38166d775f871d2c5dab4b4f285194 187 186 2015-01-14T01:53:48Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =<font face="Book Antiqua">Non-Standard Fuels</font>= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels are: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels (non-taxed fuels) * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) * Kerosine * Kickapoo Joy Juice <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a more useful size. Members would form groups by area and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. It would be confusing to combine widely-separated areas into one report. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the existing boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis, advertising the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Obtaining member participation== Initially, you may wish to PM or whiteboard members who report prices in the given area and ask for their participation in the reporting effort for the given fuel. Additionally, you may ask them if they know of anyone else who would be willing to participate, either as a reporter or user. Efforts to obtain participation could even extend to outside the GBO community, thus adding new members. You may wish to invite the use of the forum topic, for a given fuel and reporting area, for discussions about the reporting methods used or how they can be improved. However, discussions about the fuels themselves should probably be directed to the national forum topics, because that's where the major audience would exist for those discussions. <br> ==Using the GBO forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently-posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions, or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''Somestate discussion'' or ''Somemetroarea discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list as typed:''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> is the same to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A starting code, which begins the table and defines many appearance items automatically # A header code - the names of the fields in bold (all are enclosed by an exclamation point (!) except the last one on the end). # A new-row code, which signals that the following row contains the cells that are to appear. # For each price report, a row, consisting of ## A new-row code. ## A list of the cells (fields) for a price report (all cells are enclosed by a pipe symbol (|) except the last cell on the end). # An ending code, which ends the table. The input typed for a table might look like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 12 - A wiki table (only) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- <!--Begins the code.--> |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable style="background: #e0e0e0"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>!Price!!Vendor!!Address!!Cross St!!ZIP!!Date<br>Spotted!!Time<br>Spotted!!Member!!Note<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -3.68a||ARCO||1670 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1001||12:05PM||Boatfreak33||14</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.98a||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.08e||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.99a||The River Shop||2334 Old River Rd||Hwy 65||75842||1002||7:00PM||Calloway||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -4.01a||Inlet Marine Supply||5089 Marlinspike Rd||Hwy 65||75844||1001||Catfancier||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.13s||Joe's Bilge||7033 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:05PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-<br> <nowiki>| 4.15s||Watersport||6988 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:15PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -- --a||Marine Spot||1700 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||0931||1:14 PM||Flycaster||1</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.23s||The Fern Dock||1656 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||8:00AM||Flycaster||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <!--Ends the code--> |} <!--Display table ends--> Note that each data item is "enclosed" by two pipe symbols (|), except for the first item, which has not item preceding it, and the last item in the line which needs no closing pipe (it is assumed by the system). Example 12 renders as:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 13 - A wiki table (only) as published:''</code></span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" !Price!!Vendor!!Address!!Cross St!!ZIP!!Date<br>Spotted!!Time<br>Spotted!!Member!!Note |- | -3.68a||ARCO||1670 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1001||12:05PM||Boatfreak33||14 |- | 3.98a||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33|| |- | 4.08e||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33|| |- | 3.99a||The River Shop||2334 Old River Rd||Hwy 65||75842||1002||7:00PM||Calloway|| |- | -4.01a||Inlet Marine Supply||5089 Marlinspike Rd||Hwy 65||75844||1001||11:10AM||Catfancier|| |- | 4.13s||Joe's Bilge||7033 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:05PM||OldAngler|| |- | 4.15s||Watersport||6988 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:15PM||OldAngler|| |- | -- --a||Marine Spot||1700 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||0931||1:14 PM||Flycaster||1 |- | 4.23s||The Fern Dock||1656 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||8:00AM||Flycaster|| |} As with the free-format method, bolding, italicizing and other tweaks are possible (see Appendix 1 & 2), but it makes the table more complicated, and, for new authors, perhaps too complicated. It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly. The table's header row, by virtue of it's exclamation marks, is bolded by default. <br> ====<u>A table in a page</u>==== Here is the code for a typical page to hold the table of Examples 12 & 13:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 14 - A wiki page (less table) as typed:''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <span style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">(The code for the table of Example 12 goes here.)</span><br> <nowiki>''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Legend:'' Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted"<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Related Forum Topic:''[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices for Blatzburg and N.

This is explained in the next section. ====<u>A warning about the special spacing requirement in the table for prices</u>==== Normally, the data in a table cell could begin immediately after the pipe (|) symbol; no space is required between them. However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using E-mail to publish price lists== It can be argued that the forum and wiki methods are preferable to using E-mail, because the lists may be viewed at any time, whereas users must wait for the arrival of an E-mailed price list. However, a common E-mail account may overcome this. This method may simply mimic the forum method with the exception of the latest instructions appearing in the forum topic which advertizes the list. All techniques not available in the forum, but which are available to E-mails, e.g. HTML, HTML entities, bolding, italics, etc. may be used. One user would copy the previous list to the next one, incorporating his latest reports. The E-mail subject line should begin with the date-time group of the list. This will make it easier for users to manage their inboxes by deleting old lists. ==Using a common E-mail account== Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list. Procedures would need to be adopted to guide users in doing list maintenance. If a single E-mail account is created and used by all users, these problems would not exist, however limiting access to the account might be required to prevent vandalism. Perhaps newbies, after a probationary period of making reports and receiving them in their own accounts, could be awarded access to the common account. ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line shown marked up to be bolded as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line shown bolded as published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word shown marked up to be italicized as typed:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word shown italicized when published:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process.<ref>It may be that once a template is called, the template code itself may be deleted from a wiki page and the template will still function. There is no guarantee that the template will function later in a different session. Therefore, the template code should always be present on every page on which it is needed.</ref> # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Follow the word Notes with tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order in which they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags are deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. If a note is added, the notes will likewise be automatically renumbered. This is a minimal example to show the appearance of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes as typed:''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> Which renders as:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes as published:''</span>:</code></span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<br> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> Notes:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <span style="color: red">Template:Reflist</span> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths as published.</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} There are several methods of governing the width of a column, but by letting the system do it, it may be more readable when using different devices (such as smartphones), because the browsers can adjust how the columns are viewed. Anyone seeking to adjust columns manually may contact the author for additional advice if necessary. ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code>before the data and </span> following it. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Choosing Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use the name ''guides'', but there are likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The M and the P case sensitive, but it shouldn't matter, because there will be little reason to type this page name. This is because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive, except for the first letter of the name, which is non-case-sensitive. Thus ''cat'' is the same as ''Cat''. but ''CAT'' will fail because the ''AT'' will not be recognized as the ''C'' will. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case in the name used. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. If this precaution is taken, except for ''Main_Page'' (which must be typed that way). all names may be typed all lower case, which is what most users do. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 20150113 5:23 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20150113 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> 1e5fcad4ddc68d600b108266337fe66ebd64eae3 188 187 2015-01-14T02:39:57Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =<font face="Book Antiqua">Non-Standard Fuels</font>= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels are: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels (non-taxed fuels) * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) * Kerosine * Kickapoo Joy Juice <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a more useful size. Members would form groups by area and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. It would be confusing to combine widely-separated areas into one report. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the existing boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis, advertising the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Obtaining member participation== Initially, you may wish to PM or whiteboard members who report prices in the given area and ask for their participation in the reporting effort for the given fuel. Additionally, you may ask them if they know of anyone else who would be willing to participate, either as a reporter or user. Efforts to obtain participation could even extend to outside the GBO community, thus adding new members. You may wish to invite the use of the forum topic, for a given fuel and reporting area, for discussions about the reporting methods used or how they can be improved. However, discussions about the fuels themselves should probably be directed to the national forum topics, because that's where the major audience would exist for those discussions. <br> ==Using the GBO forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently-posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions, or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list (shown as typed):''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list (shown as typed):''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> will have the same appearance to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A table-starting code, which begins the table - <nowiki>{|</nowiki> # A table class that automatically defines many appearance items # A new-row code that signals that a row of the table follows - <nowiki>|-</nowiki> # A header row code <nowiki>!</nowiki> to begin the row.

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly.

This is explained in the next section. ====<u>A warning about the special spacing requirement in the table for prices</u>==== Normally, the data in a table cell could begin immediately after the pipe (|) symbol; no space is required between them. However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using E-mail to publish price lists== It can be argued that the forum and wiki methods are preferable to using E-mail, because the lists may be viewed at any time, whereas users must wait for the arrival of an E-mailed price list. However, a common E-mail account may overcome this. This method may simply mimic the forum method with the exception of the latest instructions appearing in the forum topic which advertizes the list. All techniques not available in the forum, but which are available to E-mails, e.g. HTML, HTML entities, bolding, italics, etc. may be used. One user would copy the previous list to the next one, incorporating his latest reports. The E-mail subject line should begin with the date-time group of the list. This will make it easier for users to manage their inboxes by deleting old lists. ==Using a common E-mail account== Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list. Procedures would need to be adopted to guide users in doing list maintenance. If a single E-mail account is created and used by all users, these problems would not exist, however limiting access to the account might be required to prevent vandalism. Perhaps newbies, after a probationary period of making reports and receiving them in their own accounts, could be awarded access to the common account. ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line shown marked up to be bolded (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line shown bolded (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word shown marked up to be italicized (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word shown italicized (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process.<ref>It may be that once a template is called, the template code itself may be deleted from a wiki page and the template will still function. There is no guarantee that the template will function later in a different session. Therefore, the template code should always be present on every page on which it is needed.</ref> # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Follow the word Notes with tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order in which they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags are deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. If a note is added, the notes will likewise be automatically renumbered. This is a minimal example to show the appearance of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> Which renders as:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes (shown as published):''</span>:</code></span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<br> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> Notes:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <span style="color: red">Template:Reflist</span> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths (shown as published).</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired. {| border="1" cellpadding="40" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} There are several methods of governing the width of a column, but by letting the system do it, it may be more readable when using different devices (such as smartphones), because the browsers can adjust how the columns are viewed. Anyone seeking to adjust columns manually may contact the author for additional advice if necessary. ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code>before the data and </span> following it. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Choosing Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use the name ''guides'', but there are likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The M and the P case sensitive, but it shouldn't matter, because there will be little reason to type this page name. This is because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive, except for the first letter of the name, which is non-case-sensitive. Thus ''cat'' is the same as ''Cat''. but ''CAT'' will fail because the ''AT'' will not be recognized as the ''C'' will. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case in the name used. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. If this precaution is taken, except for ''Main_Page'' (which must be typed that way). all names may be typed all lower case, which is what most users do. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 20150113 5:23 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20150113 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> 1a53b10652e2853497e11826bcba5ad04fd51971 189 188 2015-01-14T02:57:50Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =<font face="Book Antiqua">Non-Standard Fuels</font>= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels are: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels (non-taxed fuels) * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) * Kerosine * Kickapoo Joy Juice <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a more useful size. Members would form groups by area and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. It would be confusing to combine widely-separated areas into one report. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the existing boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis, advertising the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Obtaining member participation== Initially, you may wish to PM or whiteboard members who report prices in the given area and ask for their participation in the reporting effort for the given fuel. Additionally, you may ask them if they know of anyone else who would be willing to participate, either as a reporter or user. Efforts to obtain participation could even extend to outside the GBO community, thus adding new members. You may wish to invite the use of the forum topic, for a given fuel and reporting area, for discussions about the reporting methods used or how they can be improved. However, discussions about the fuels themselves should probably be directed to the national forum topics, because that's where the major audience would exist for those discussions. <br><br> ==Using the GBO forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently-posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions, or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list (shown as typed):''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list (shown as typed):''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> will have the same appearance to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A table-starting code, which begins the table - <nowiki>{|</nowiki> # A table class that automatically defines many appearance items # A new-row code that signals that a row of the table follows - <nowiki>|-</nowiki> # A header row code <nowiki>!</nowiki> to begin the row.

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly.

This is explained in the next section. ====<u>A warning about the special spacing requirement in the table for prices</u>==== Normally, the data in a table cell could begin immediately after the pipe (|) symbol; no space is required between them. However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using E-mail to publish price lists== It can be argued that the forum and wiki methods are preferable to using E-mail, because the lists may be viewed at any time, whereas users must wait for the arrival of an E-mailed price list. However, a common E-mail account may overcome this. This method may simply mimic the forum method with the exception of the latest instructions appearing in the forum topic which advertizes the list. All techniques not available in the forum, but which are available to E-mails, e.g. HTML, HTML entities, bolding, italics, etc. may be used. One user would copy the previous list to the next one, incorporating his latest reports. The E-mail subject line should begin with the date-time group of the list. This will make it easier for users to manage their inboxes by deleting old lists. ==Using a common E-mail account== Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list. Procedures would need to be adopted to guide users in doing list maintenance. If a single E-mail account is created and used by all users, these problems would not exist, however limiting access to the account might be required to prevent vandalism. Perhaps newbies, after a probationary period of making reports and receiving them in their own accounts, could be awarded access to the common account. ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line shown marked up to be bolded (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line shown bolded (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word shown marked up to be italicized (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word shown italicized (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== In the examples of wiki pages given above, a note number was placed in a table row and, below, where the author wishes to place the notes, similar note numbers were typed (along with the note itself). This was an entirely manual process, the author being responsible for matching the numbers. When a report line is deleted, the corresponding note is deleted, leaving gaps in the note numbers to save renumbering everything. The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process.<ref>It may be that once a template is called, the template code itself may be deleted from a wiki page and the template will still function. There is no guarantee that the template will function later in a different session. Therefore, the template code should always be present on every page on which it is needed.</ref> # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Follow the word Notes with tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order in which they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags are deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. If a note is added, the notes will likewise be automatically renumbered. This is a minimal example to show the appearance of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> Which renders as:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes (shown as published):''</span>:</code></span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<br> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> Notes:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <span style="color: red">Template:Reflist</span> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths (shown as published).</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired (but vertically as well as horizontally). The element cellpadding is added after the table class: {| border="1" cellpadding="20" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} There are several methods of governing the width of a column, but by letting the system do it, it may be more readable when using different devices (such as smartphones), because the browsers can adjust how the columns are viewed. Anyone seeking to adjust columns manually may contact the author for additional advice if necessary. ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code>before the data and </span> following it. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Choosing Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use the name ''guides'', but there are likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The M and the P case sensitive, but it shouldn't matter, because there will be little reason to type this page name. This is because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive, except for the first letter of the name, which is non-case-sensitive. Thus ''cat'' is the same as ''Cat''. but ''CAT'' will fail because the ''AT'' will not be recognized as the ''C'' will. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case in the name used. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. If this precaution is taken, except for ''Main_Page'' (which must be typed that way). all names may be typed all lower case, which is what most users do. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 20150113 6:49 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20150113 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> a1e4a3ea71025f89340f3aa7991078db1eac003f 190 189 2015-01-14T03:19:02Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =<font face="Book Antiqua">Non-Standard Fuels</font>= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels are: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels (non-taxed fuels) * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) * Kerosine * Kickapoo Joy Juice <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a more useful size. Members would form groups by area and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. It would be confusing to combine widely-separated areas into one report. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the existing boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis, advertising the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Obtaining member participation== Initially, you may wish to PM or whiteboard members who report prices in the given area and ask for their participation in the reporting effort for the given fuel. Additionally, you may ask them if they know of anyone else who would be willing to participate, either as a reporter or user. Efforts to obtain participation could even extend to outside the GBO community, thus adding new members. You may wish to invite the use of the forum topic, for a given fuel and reporting area, for discussions about the reporting methods used or how they can be improved. However, discussions about the fuels themselves should probably be directed to the national forum topics, because that's where the major audience would exist for those discussions. <br><br> ==Using the GBO forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently-posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions, or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list (shown as typed):''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list (shown as typed):''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> will have the same appearance to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A table-starting code, which begins the table - <nowiki>{|</nowiki> # A table class that automatically defines many appearance items # A new-row code that signals that a row of the table follows - <nowiki>|-</nowiki> # A header row code <nowiki>!</nowiki> to begin the row.

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly.

This is explained in the next section. ====<u>A warning about the special spacing requirement in the table for prices</u>==== Normally, the data in a table cell could begin immediately after the pipe (|) symbol; no space is required between them. However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using E-mail to publish price lists== It can be argued that the forum and wiki methods are preferable to using E-mail, because those lists may be viewed at any time, whereas users must wait for the arrival of an E-mailed price list. However, a common E-mail account may overcome this. This method may simply mimic the forum method (with the exception of the latest instructions appearing in the forum topic that advertizes the list). One user would copy the previous list to the next one, incorporating his latest report(s). Then that user would do a mass mailing to all other users. This requires all reporters to have an accurate list of all users. Text-formatting techniques not available in the forum, but which are available to E-mails, e.g. HTML, HTML entities, bolding, italics, etc. may be used, but will complicate the process. The E-mail subject line should begin with the date-time group of the list. This will make it easier for users to manage their inboxes by deleting old lists. =Using a common E-mail account= Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list. Procedures would need to be adopted to guide users in doing list maintenance. If a single E-mail account is created and used by all users, these problems would not exist, however limiting access to the account might be required to prevent vandalism. Perhaps newbies, after a probationary period of making reports and receiving them in their own accounts, could be awarded access to the common account. ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line shown marked up to be bolded (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line shown bolded (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word shown marked up to be italicized (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word shown italicized (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== In the examples of wiki pages given above, a note number was placed in a table row and, below, where the author wishes to place the notes, similar note numbers were typed (along with the note itself). This was an entirely manual process, the author being responsible for matching the numbers. When a report line is deleted, the corresponding note is deleted, leaving gaps in the note numbers to save renumbering everything. The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process.<ref>It may be that once a template is called, the template code itself may be deleted from a wiki page and the template will still function. There is no guarantee that the template will function later in a different session. Therefore, the template code should always be present on every page on which it is needed.</ref> # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Follow the word Notes with tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order in which they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags are deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. If a note is added, the notes will likewise be automatically renumbered. This is a minimal example to show the appearance of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> Which renders as:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes (shown as published):''</span>:</code></span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<br> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> Notes:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <span style="color: red">Template:Reflist</span> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths (shown as published).</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired (but vertically as well as horizontally). The element cellpadding is added after the table class: {| border="1" cellpadding="20" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} There are several methods of governing the width of a column, but by letting the system do it, it may be more readable when using different devices (such as smartphones), because the browsers can adjust how the columns are viewed. Anyone seeking to adjust columns manually may contact the author for additional advice if necessary. ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code>before the data and </span> following it. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Choosing Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use the name ''guides'', but there are likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The M and the P case sensitive, but it shouldn't matter, because there will be little reason to type this page name. This is because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive, except for the first letter of the name, which is non-case-sensitive. Thus ''cat'' is the same as ''Cat''. but ''CAT'' will fail because the ''AT'' will not be recognized as the ''C'' will. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case in the name used. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. If this precaution is taken, except for ''Main_Page'' (which must be typed that way). all names may be typed all lower case, which is what most users do. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 20150113 7:18 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20150113 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> 2be4c25db888ed5a81c95f686dd55ec994d2ef5a 191 190 2015-01-14T03:23:24Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =<font face="Book Antiqua">Non-Standard Fuels</font>= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels are: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels (non-taxed fuels) * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) * Kerosine * Kickapoo Joy Juice <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a more useful size. Members would form groups by area and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. It would be confusing to combine widely-separated areas into one report. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the existing boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis, advertising the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Obtaining member participation== Initially, you may wish to PM or whiteboard members who report prices in the given area and ask for their participation in the reporting effort for the given fuel. Additionally, you may ask them if they know of anyone else who would be willing to participate, either as a reporter or user. Efforts to obtain participation could even extend to outside the GBO community, thus adding new members. You may wish to invite the use of the forum topic, for a given fuel and reporting area, for discussions about the reporting methods used or how they can be improved. However, discussions about the fuels themselves should probably be directed to the national forum topics, because that's where the major audience would exist for those discussions. <br><br> ==Using the GBO forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently-posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions, or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list (shown as typed):''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list (shown as typed):''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> will have the same appearance to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A table-starting code, which begins the table - <nowiki>{|</nowiki> # A table class that automatically defines many appearance items # A new-row code that signals that a row of the table follows - <nowiki>|-</nowiki> # A header row code <nowiki>!</nowiki> to begin the row.

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly.

This is explained in the next section. ====<u>A warning about the special spacing requirement in the table for prices</u>==== Normally, the data in a table cell could begin immediately after the pipe (|) symbol; no space is required between them. However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using E-mail to publish price lists== It can be argued that the forum and wiki methods are preferable to using E-mail, because those lists may be viewed at any time, whereas users must wait for the arrival of an E-mailed price list. However, a common E-mail account may overcome this. This method may simply mimic the forum method (with the exception of the latest instructions appearing in the forum topic that advertizes the list). One user would copy the previous list to the next one, incorporating his latest report(s). Then that user would do a mass mailing to all other users. This requires all reporters to have an accurate list of all users. Text-formatting techniques not available in the forum, but which are available to E-mails, e.g. HTML, HTML entities, bolding, italics, etc. may be used, but will complicate the process. The E-mail subject line should begin with the date-time group of the list. This will make it easier for users to manage their inboxes by deleting old lists. ===Using a common E-mail account=== Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list. Procedures would need to be adopted to guide users in doing list maintenance. If a single E-mail account is created and used by all users, these problems would not exist, however limiting access to the account might be required to prevent vandalism. Perhaps newbies, after a probationary period of making reports and receiving them in their own accounts, could be awarded access to the common account. ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line shown marked up to be bolded (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line shown bolded (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word shown marked up to be italicized (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word shown italicized (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== In the examples of wiki pages given above, a note number was placed in a table row and, below, where the author wishes to place the notes, similar note numbers were typed (along with the note itself). This was an entirely manual process, the author being responsible for matching the numbers. When a report line is deleted, the corresponding note is deleted, leaving gaps in the note numbers to save renumbering everything. The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process.<ref>It may be that once a template is called, the template code itself may be deleted from a wiki page and the template will still function. There is no guarantee that the template will function later in a different session. Therefore, the template code should always be present on every page on which it is needed.</ref> # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Follow the word Notes with tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order in which they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags are deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. If a note is added, the notes will likewise be automatically renumbered. This is a minimal example to show the appearance of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> Which renders as:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes (shown as published):''</span>:</code></span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<br> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> Notes:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <span style="color: red">Template:Reflist</span> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths (shown as published).</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired (but vertically as well as horizontally). The element cellpadding is added after the table class: {| border="1" cellpadding="20" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} There are several methods of governing the width of a column, but by letting the system do it, it may be more readable when using different devices (such as smartphones), because the browsers can adjust how the columns are viewed. Anyone seeking to adjust columns manually may contact the author for additional advice if necessary. ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code>before the data and </span> following it. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Choosing Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use the name ''guides'', but there are likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The M and the P case sensitive, but it shouldn't matter, because there will be little reason to type this page name. This is because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive, except for the first letter of the name, which is non-case-sensitive. Thus ''cat'' is the same as ''Cat''. but ''CAT'' will fail because the ''AT'' will not be recognized as the ''C'' will. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case in the name used. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. If this precaution is taken, except for ''Main_Page'' (which must be typed that way). all names may be typed all lower case, which is what most users do. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 20150113 7:18 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20150113 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> =Using a common E-mail account= Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list.

This is a minimal example to show the appearance of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> Which renders as:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes (shown as published):''</span>:</code></span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<br> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> Notes:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <span style="color: red">Template:Reflist</span> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths (shown as published).</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired (but vertically as well as horizontally). The element cellpadding is added after the table class: {| border="1" cellpadding="20" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} There are several methods of governing the width of a column, but by letting the system do it, it may be more readable when using different devices (such as smartphones), because the browsers can adjust how the columns are viewed. Anyone seeking to adjust columns manually may contact the author for additional advice if necessary. ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code>before the data and </span> following it. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Choosing Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use the name ''guides'', but there are likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The M and the P case sensitive, but it shouldn't matter, because there will be little reason to type this page name. This is because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive, except for the first letter of the name, which is non-case-sensitive. Thus ''cat'' is the same as ''Cat''. but ''CAT'' will fail because the ''AT'' will not be recognized as the ''C'' will. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case in the name used. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. If this precaution is taken, except for ''Main_Page'' (which must be typed that way). all names may be typed all lower case, which is what most users do. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 20150113 7:18 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20150113 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> 5ee8d0e52028c338c84d3e1af1e502a02ac5a885 192 191 2015-01-14T03:28:30Z CampKohler 3383757 /* Non-Standard Fuels */ Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =<font face="Book Antiqua">Non-Standard Fuels</font>= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means. __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels are: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels (non-taxed fuels) * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) * Kerosine * Kickapoo Joy Juice <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a more useful size. Members would form groups by area and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. It would be confusing to combine widely-separated areas into one report. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the existing boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis, advertising the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Obtaining member participation== Initially, you may wish to PM or whiteboard members who report prices in the given area and ask for their participation in the reporting effort for the given fuel. Additionally, you may ask them if they know of anyone else who would be willing to participate, either as a reporter or user. Efforts to obtain participation could even extend to outside the GBO community, thus adding new members. You may wish to invite the use of the forum topic, for a given fuel and reporting area, for discussions about the reporting methods used or how they can be improved. However, discussions about the fuels themselves should probably be directed to the national forum topics, because that's where the major audience would exist for those discussions. <br><br> ==Using the GBO forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently-posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions, or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list (shown as typed):''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list (shown as typed):''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> will have the same appearance to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A table-starting code, which begins the table - <nowiki>{|</nowiki> # A table class that automatically defines many appearance items # A new-row code that signals that a row of the table follows - <nowiki>|-</nowiki> # A header row code <nowiki>!</nowiki> to begin the row. All words will be bolded because of the exclamation point. # The row data - In the case of this table header, the names of the columns are shown, each name being separated by two exclamation points, except for the last name in the row, which needs to be followed by nothing. # An ordinary row code <nowiki>|</nowiki>, to begin the row. All words will not be bolded because of the pipe symbol. # The row data - In the case of a price report row, the elements of the report are shown, each element being separated by tow pipe symbols <nowiki>||</nowiki>, except for the last element in the row, which needs to be followed by nothing. # A table-ending code, which ends the table. The input typed for a table might look like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 12 - A wiki table's code (shown as typed):''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- <!--Begins the code.--> |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable</nowiki><br> <nowiki>!Price!!Vendor!!Address!!Cross St!!ZIP!!Date<br>Spotted!!Time<br>Spotted!!Member!!Note<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -3.68a||ARCO||1670 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1001||12:05PM||Boatfreak33||14</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.98a||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.08e||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.99a||The River Shop||2334 Old River Rd||Hwy 65||75842||1002||7:00PM||Calloway||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -4.01a||Inlet Marine Supply||5089 Marlinspike Rd||Hwy 65||75844||1001||Catfancier||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.13s||Joe's Bilge||7033 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:05PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-<br> <nowiki>| 4.15s||Watersport||6988 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:15PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -- --a||Marine Spot||1700 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||0931||1:14 PM||Flycaster||1</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.23s||The Fern Dock||1656 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||8:00AM||Flycaster||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <!--Ends the code--> |} <!--Display table ends--> Note that each data item is "enclosed" by two pipe symbols (|), except for the first item, which has not item preceding it, and the last item in the line which needs no closing pipe (it is assumed by the system).

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly. The table's header row, by virtue of it's exclamation marks, is bolded by default. <br> ====<u>A table in a page</u>==== Here is the code for a typical page to hold the table of Examples 12 & 13:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 14 - A wiki page less table (shown as typed):''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <span style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">(The code for the table of Example 12 goes here.)</span><br> <nowiki>''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Legend:'' Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted"<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Related Forum Topic:''[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices for Blatzburg and N.

This is explained in the next section. ====<u>A warning about the special spacing requirement in the table for prices</u>==== Normally, the data in a table cell could begin immediately after the pipe (|) symbol; no space is required between them. However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using E-mail to publish price lists== It can be argued that the forum and wiki methods are preferable to using E-mail, because the lists may be viewed at any time, whereas users must wait for the arrival of an E-mailed price list. However, a common E-mail account may overcome this. This method may simply mimic the forum method with the exception of the latest instructions appearing in the forum topic which advertizes the list. All techniques not available in the forum, but which are available to E-mails, e.g. HTML, HTML entities, bolding, italics, etc. may be used. One user would copy the previous list to the next one, incorporating his latest reports. The E-mail subject line should begin with the date-time group of the list. This will make it easier for users to manage their inboxes by deleting old lists. ==Using a common E-mail account== Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list. Procedures would need to be adopted to guide users in doing list maintenance. If a single E-mail account is created and used by all users, these problems would not exist, however limiting access to the account might be required to prevent vandalism. Perhaps newbies, after a probationary period of making reports and receiving them in their own accounts, could be awarded access to the common account. ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line shown marked up to be bolded (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line shown bolded (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word shown marked up to be italicized (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word shown italicized (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== In the examples of wiki pages given above, a note number was placed in a table row and, below, where the author wishes to place the notes, similar note numbers were typed (along with the note itself). This was an entirely manual process, the author being responsible for matching the numbers. When a report line is deleted, the corresponding note is deleted, leaving gaps in the note numbers to save renumbering everything. The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process.<ref>It may be that once a template is called, the template code itself may be deleted from a wiki page and the template will still function. There is no guarantee that the template will function later in a different session. Therefore, the template code should always be present on every page on which it is needed.</ref> # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Follow the word Notes with tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order in which they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags are deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. If a note is added, the notes will likewise be automatically renumbered. This is a minimal example to show the appearance of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> Which renders as:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes (shown as published):''</span>:</code></span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<br> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> Notes:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <span style="color: red">Template:Reflist</span> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths (shown as published).</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired (but vertically as well as horizontally). The element cellpadding is added after the table class: {| border="1" cellpadding="20" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} There are several methods of governing the width of a column, but by letting the system do it, it may be more readable when using different devices (such as smartphones), because the browsers can adjust how the columns are viewed. Anyone seeking to adjust columns manually may contact the author for additional advice if necessary. ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code>before the data and </span> following it. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Choosing Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use the name ''guides'', but there are likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The M and the P case sensitive, but it shouldn't matter, because there will be little reason to type this page name. This is because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive, except for the first letter of the name, which is non-case-sensitive. Thus ''cat'' is the same as ''Cat''. but ''CAT'' will fail because the ''AT'' will not be recognized as the ''C'' will. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case in the name used. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. If this precaution is taken, except for ''Main_Page'' (which must be typed that way). all names may be typed all lower case, which is what most users do. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 20150113 6:49 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20150113 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> =Using a common E-mail account= Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list.

This was an entirely manual process, the author being responsible for matching the numbers. When a report line is deleted, the corresponding note is deleted, leaving gaps in the note numbers to save renumbering everything. The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process.<ref>It may be that once a template is called, the template code itself may be deleted from a wiki page and the template will still function. There is no guarantee that the template will function later in a different session. Therefore, the template code should always be present on every page on which it is needed.</ref> # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Follow the word Notes with tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order in which they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags are deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. If a note is added, the notes will likewise be automatically renumbered.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels are: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels (non-taxed fuels) * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) * Kerosine * Kickapoo Joy Juice <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a more useful size. Members would form groups by area and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. It would be confusing to combine widely-separated areas into one report. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the existing boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis, advertising the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Obtaining member participation== Initially, you may wish to PM or whiteboard members who report prices in the given area and ask for their participation in the reporting effort for the given fuel. Additionally, you may ask them if they know of anyone else who would be willing to participate, either as a reporter or user. Efforts to obtain participation could even extend to outside the GBO community, thus adding new members. You may wish to invite the use of the forum topic, for a given fuel and reporting area, for discussions about the reporting methods used or how they can be improved. However, discussions about the fuels themselves should probably be directed to the national forum topics, because that's where the major audience would exist for those discussions. <br><br> ==Using the GBO forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently-posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button.

It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions, or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list (shown as typed):''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> will have the same appearance to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== Official table help may be seen [http://www.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Help:Tables here.] A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A table-starting code, which begins the table - <nowiki>{|</nowiki> # A table class that automatically defines many appearance items # A new-row code that signals that a row of the table follows - <nowiki>|-</nowiki> # A header row code <nowiki>!</nowiki> to begin the row. Being a header row, all words will be bolded by default. # The row data - In the case of this table header, the names of the columns are shown, each name being separated by two exclamation points, except for the last name in the row, which needs to be followed by nothing. # An ordinary row code <nowiki>|</nowiki>, to begin the row. Being am ordinary row, all words will not be bolded. # The row data - In the case of a price report row, the elements of the report are shown, each element being separated by tow pipe symbols <nowiki>||</nowiki>, except for the last element in the row, which needs to be followed by nothing. # A table-ending code, which ends the table.

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly.

This is explained in the next section. ====<u>A warning about the special spacing requirement in the table for prices</u>==== Normally, the data in a table cell could begin immediately after the pipe (|) symbol; no space is required between them. However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using E-mail to publish price lists== It can be argued that the forum and wiki methods are preferable to using E-mail, because the lists may be viewed at any time, whereas users must wait for the arrival of an E-mailed price list. However, a common E-mail account may overcome this. This method may simply mimic the forum method with the exception of the latest instructions appearing in the forum topic which advertizes the list. All techniques not available in the forum, but which are available to E-mails, e.g. HTML, HTML entities, bolding, italics, etc. may be used. One user would copy the previous list to the next one, incorporating his latest reports. The E-mail subject line should begin with the date-time group of the list. This will make it easier for users to manage their inboxes by deleting old lists. ==Using a common E-mail account== Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list. Procedures would need to be adopted to guide users in doing list maintenance. If a single E-mail account is created and used by all users, these problems would not exist, however limiting access to the account might be required to prevent vandalism. Perhaps newbies, after a probationary period of making reports and receiving them in their own accounts, could be awarded access to the common account. ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line shown marked up to be bolded (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line shown bolded (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word shown marked up to be italicized (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word shown italicized (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== In the examples of wiki pages given above, a note number was placed in a table row and, below, where the author wishes to place the notes, similar note numbers were typed (along with the note itself). This was an entirely manual process, the author being responsible for matching the numbers. When a report line is deleted, the corresponding note is deleted, leaving gaps in the note numbers to save renumbering everything. The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process.<ref>It may be that once a template is called, the template code itself may be deleted from a wiki page and the template will still function. There is no guarantee that the template will function later in a different session. Therefore, the template code should always be present on every page on which it is needed.</ref> # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Follow the word Notes with tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order in which they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags are deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. If a note is added, the notes will likewise be automatically renumbered. This is a minimal example to show the appearance of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> Which renders as:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes (shown as published):''</span>:</code></span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<br> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> Notes:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <span style="color: red">Template:Reflist</span> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths (shown as published).</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired (but vertically as well as horizontally). The element cellpadding is added after the table class: {| border="1" cellpadding="20" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} There are several methods of governing the width of a column, but by letting the system do it, it may be more readable when using different devices (such as smartphones), because the browsers can adjust how the columns are viewed. Anyone seeking to adjust columns manually may contact the author for additional advice if necessary. ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code>before the data and </span> following it. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Choosing Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use the name ''guides'', but there are likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The M and the P case sensitive, but it shouldn't matter, because there will be little reason to type this page name. This is because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive, except for the first letter of the name, which is non-case-sensitive. Thus ''cat'' is the same as ''Cat''. but ''CAT'' will fail because the ''AT'' will not be recognized as the ''C'' will. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case in the name used. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. If this precaution is taken, except for ''Main_Page'' (which must be typed that way). all names may be typed all lower case, which is what most users do. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 20150113 6:49 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20150113 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> =Using a common E-mail account= Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list.

For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (and doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to "GBO" herinafter.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non- functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. This is determined by the author when he places a link. * Target - The place where a link leads to. This is the URL copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L] </code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor- man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be unusable as the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes|| style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"| No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"| Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> [L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb- guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L] </code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> [<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too- obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 12:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 13:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 14:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> [L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against using URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''19''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''20''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''21''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~preview_as-written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~preview_as-published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might mean nothing to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works! <br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: title, warning & conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 22:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, if follows it can be disabled by breaking one or more rules. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts the any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> [L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before post the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>? </code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most sites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly if WWW is omitted. Some sites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a site that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the site to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20150423 11:53 AM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20140423 --CampKohler<br> [[gb-guides/lk~links#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/FS_Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_fs~links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 3c84e1926bfd185fc6740f006d0bfee504656a0c 218 217 2015-04-23T20:31:31Z CampKohler 3383757 Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =Links Guide= How to make and use links in the GasBuddy message forum. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ====<u>Tutorial philosophy</u>==== Some have remarked that this tutorial is too technical. For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (and doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to "GBO" herinafter.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. This is determined by the author when he places a link. * Target - The place where a link leads to. This is the URL copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be unusable as the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 12:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 13:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 14:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against using URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''19''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''20''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''21''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~preview_as-written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~preview_as-published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might mean nothing to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: title, warning & conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 22:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, if follows it can be disabled by breaking one or more rules. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts the any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before post the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most sites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly if WWW is omitted. Some sites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a site that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the site to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20150423 11:53 AM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20140423 --CampKohler<br> [[gb-guides/lk~links#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/FS_Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_fs~links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 1e68e5e9a360f6b259592efc734c19c7999289c2 221 218 2015-04-23T20:53:14Z CampKohler 3383757 Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =Links Guide= How to make and use links in the GasBuddy message forum. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ====<u>Tutorial philosophy</u>==== Some have remarked that this tutorial is too technical. For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (and doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # GasBuddy Organization is abbreviated to "GBO" herinafter.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. This is determined by the author when he places a link. * Target - The place where a link leads to. This is the URL copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be usable because the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 12:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 13:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 14:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against using URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''19''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''20''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''21''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~preview_as-written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~preview_as-published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might mean nothing to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: 1) title, 2) warning, 3) conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 22:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, it follows that anonymization can be disabled by breaking one or more of them. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts the any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before post the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most sites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly if WWW is omitted. Some sites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a site that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the site to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20150423 1:52 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20140423 --CampKohler<br> [[gb-guides/lk~links#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/FS_Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_fs~links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 37b208c1b67c2563c07c1ecad2df56ef8794d012 226 221 2015-04-29T20:23:45Z CampKohler 3383757 Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =Links Guide= How to make and use links in the GasBuddy Organization (GBO) message forum. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ====<u>Tutorial philosophy</u>==== Some have remarked that this tutorial is too technical. For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (or doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between: * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. This is determined by the author by where he places a link on the page. * Target - The place&mdash;Website, page or place on a page&mdash;where a link leads to. This is the URL typically copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be usable because the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 12:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 13:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 14:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against using URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''19''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''20''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''21''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~preview_as-written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~preview_as-published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might not mean anything to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered in one of them. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: 1) title, 2) warning, 3) conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 22:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, it follows that anonymization can be disabled by breaking one or more of them. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. being the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before post the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most Websites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly either way. However, some Websites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a Website that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the operators to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test the address first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20150429 1:05 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20140429 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> d0952d13c4cc4a9ef672bc9a4ba3109680e9f6a4 229 226 2015-04-29T21:12:11Z CampKohler 3383757 Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =Links Guide= How to make and use links in the GasBuddy Organization (GBO) message forum. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ====<u>Tutorial philosophy</u>==== Some have remarked that this tutorial is too technical. For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (or doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between: * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. This is determined by the author by where he places a link on the page. * Target - The place&mdash;Website, page or place on a page&mdash;where a link leads to. This is the URL typically copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be usable because the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 12:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 13:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 14:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against using URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''19''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''20''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''21''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~preview as written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~preview as published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might not mean anything to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered in one of them. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: 1) title, 2) warning, 3) conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 22:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, it follows that anonymization can be disabled by breaking one or more of them. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. being the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before post the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most Websites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly either way. However, some Websites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a Website that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the operators to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test the address first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20150429 1:05 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20140429 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 954f0522ffc3690c7112e5a7623aa14b3672abde 230 229 2015-04-29T21:19:16Z CampKohler 3383757 Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =Links Guide= How to make and use links in the GasBuddy Organization (GBO) message forum. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ====<u>Tutorial philosophy</u>==== Some have remarked that this tutorial is too technical. For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (or doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between: * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. This is determined by the author by where he places a link on the page. * Target - The place&mdash;Website, page or place on a page&mdash;where a link leads to. This is the URL typically copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be usable because the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 12:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 13:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 14:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against using URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''19''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''20''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''21''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~preview_as-written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~preview_as-published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might not mean anything to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered in one of them. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: 1) title, 2) warning, 3) conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 22:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, it follows that anonymization can be disabled by breaking one or more of them. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. being the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before post the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most Websites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly either way. However, some Websites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a Website that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the operators to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test the address first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20150429 2:19 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20140429 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> c288ef691f4db3f59a438f42e5d5b2856649bf0d 231 230 2015-04-29T21:24:32Z CampKohler 3383757 Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =Links Guide= How to make and use links in the GasBuddy Organization (GBO) message forum. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ====<u>Tutorial philosophy</u>==== Some have remarked that this tutorial is too technical. For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (or doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between: * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. This is determined by the author by where he places a link on the page. * Target - The place&mdash;Website, page or place on a page&mdash;where a link leads to. This is the URL typically copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be usable because the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 12:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 13:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 14:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against using URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''19''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''20''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''21''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~previewed_as-written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~previewed_as-published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might not mean anything to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered in one of them. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: 1) title, 2) warning, 3) conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 22:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, it follows that anonymization can be disabled by breaking one or more of them. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. being the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before post the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most Websites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly either way. However, some Websites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a Website that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the operators to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test the address first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20150429 2:24 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20140429 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 54d1639e82da14bcebcbe007ae2225cd8e032f91 6 29 219 2015-04-23T20:34:30Z CampKohler 3383757 Links as written in a forum message dialog box. wikitext text/x-wiki Links as written in a forum message dialog box. daf2152581c35b0a895976bd844ccc1c543a8c53 0 31 224 2015-04-29T18:53:45Z CampKohler 3383757 Published wikitext text/x-wiki =Local Menus Guide= How to maintain search menus on GasBuddy Organization (GBO) metro-area sites. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ==Local Search Menu Description== The station names in the drop-down search menus at GBO metro-area sites are not, as one might imagine, automatically derived from the state's portion of the Master Station List (MSL).

This is done for the purpose of having short search menus.

The former, e.g. ARCO, Shell, Chevron, Texaco and so forth, will be relatively stable over long time periods, because unless an entire chain withdraws from the market or changes its name, they rarely change, whereas the latter come and go relatively often. Realizing this, members must take it upon themselves to periodically review their own metro-area site menu (or those of other sites if they are knowledgeable about them) and recommend to GBO the changes necessary to update them. The menu should be analyzed to update major chains by: 1) Adding chains that have established a new presence in the metro-area. 2) Deleting chains that have lost all presence in the metro-area. The menu should be analyzed to update independent stations by: 1) Adding new stations that maintain low prices. 2) Revising existing stations that have changed their names. 3) Deleting stations that have closed. 4) Adding stations that have multiple local locations (which increases their importance to local users). 5) Adding stations that maintain low prices as compared to others. 6) If necessary, stations that do not maintain low prices (which decreases their importance to local users). ==Updating the Local Menu== Once you have determined what must be done to update the menu, send a PM to a moderator requesting the changes in such a manner that it will be obvious that you have done your homework and the work is reliable. Here is an example of a recent successful request: {| style="background: #e0e0e0;" |- | <code>"Our list is getting a bit shaky, so I researched it.<br> sactogasprices.com<br> <br> --Begin--<br> ....Delete (no such stations in Sacto metro-area)<br> Kings Gas<br> USA Gasoline<br> Spirit<br> Come 'n' Go<br> ....Revise<br> Speed Bird s/b Speed Bird Liquor & Food<br> ....Add (price leaders or multiple stations)<br> Sinclair<br> Circle 7<br> Big "D" Liquor & Food<br> DG Gasoline<br> One Stop Gas<br> Bell Gas 'n' Diesel<br> CJ Gas<br> Econo Gas<br> Gas & Shop<br> Towne Mart<br> --End--<br> <br> Thanks!</code> |} GBO seems very amenable to this kind of request. ==Local Coordination== Especially for large metro-areas, it may be advisable to start a topic in the forum local discussion category for the specific purpose of gaining concensus about proposed menu changes.

The menu should be analyzed to update independent stations by: 1) Adding new stations that maintain low prices. 2) Revising existing stations that have changed their names. 3) Deleting stations that have closed. 4) Adding stations that have multiple local locations (which increases their importance to local users). 5) Adding existing stations that maintain low prices as compared to others. 6) If necessary, deleting stations that do not maintain low prices (which decreases their importance to local users). ==Updating the Local Menu== Once you have determined what must be done to update the menu, send a PM to a moderator requesting the changes in such a manner that it will be obvious that you have done your homework and the work is reliable. Here is an example of a recent successful request: {| style="background: #e0e0e0;" |- | <code>"Our list is getting a bit shaky, so I researched it.<br> sactogasprices.com<br> <br> --Begin--<br> ....Delete (no such stations in Sacto metro-area)<br> Kings Gas<br> USA Gasoline<br> Spirit<br> Come 'n' Go<br> ....Revise<br> Speed Bird s/b Speed Bird Liquor & Food<br> ....Add (price leaders or multiple stations)<br> Sinclair<br> Circle 7<br> Big "D" Liquor & Food<br> DG Gasoline<br> One Stop Gas<br> Bell Gas 'n' Diesel<br> CJ Gas<br> Econo Gas<br> Gas & Shop<br> Towne Mart<br> --End--<br> <br> Thanks!"</code> |} GBO seems very amenable to this kind of request. ==Local Coordination== Especially for large metro-areas, it may be advisable to start a topic in the forum local discussion category for the specific purpose of gaining concensus about proposed menu changes. The text of the original post (OP) could include a link to this guide for those members who might be unfamiliar with maintaining the menu. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20150429 12:00 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20140429 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Local-menus.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_local-menus_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> fbf39f7c4f1824732e82c60c689ddccabc5e5965 0 14 234 231 2015-04-29T21:40:41Z CampKohler 3383757 wikitext text/x-wiki =Links Guide= How to make and use links in the GasBuddy Organization (GBO) message forum. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ====<u>Tutorial philosophy</u>==== Some have remarked that this tutorial is too technical. For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (or doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between: * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. This is determined by the author by where he places a link on the page. * Target - The place&mdash;Website, page or place on a page&mdash;where a link leads to. This is the URL typically copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be usable because the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 12:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 13:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 14:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against using URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''19''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''20''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''21''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might not mean anything to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered in one of them. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: 1) title, 2) warning, 3) conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 22:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, it follows that anonymization can be disabled by breaking one or more of them. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. being the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before post the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most Websites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly either way. However, some Websites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a Website that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the operators to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test the address first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20150429 2:39 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20140429 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 44ff26b446e9695dc44d8775755370833b1de7e9 253 234 2015-07-07T19:53:33Z CampKohler 3383757 Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =Links Guide= How to make and use links in the GasBuddy Organization (GBO) message forum. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ====<u>Tutorial philosophy</u>==== Some have remarked that this tutorial is too technical. For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (or doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between: * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. This is determined by the author by where he places a link on the page. * Target - The place&mdash;Website, page or place on a page&mdash;where a link leads to. This is the URL typically copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be usable because the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 12:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 13:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 14:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against using URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''19''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''20''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''21''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might not mean anything to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered in one of them. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: 1) title, 2) warning, 3) conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 22:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 23:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, it follows that anonymization can be disabled by breaking one or more of them. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. being the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before posting the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most Websites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly either way. However, some Websites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a Website that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the operators to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test the address first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20150707 12:53 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20150707 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 47de1c0a29ba0d1a12d381c2e9d4ee9b7af83588 276 253 2015-10-21T01:52:46Z CampKohler 3383757 Added reserved chars section wikitext text/x-wiki =Links Guide= How to make and use links in the GasBuddy Organization (GBO) message forum. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ====<u>Tutorial philosophy</u>==== Some have remarked that this tutorial is too technical. For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (or doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between: * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. The author places an anchor on the page where desired. * Target - The place&mdash;Website, page or place on a page&mdash;where a link leads to. This is the URL typically copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be usable because the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==Use of Reserved Characters in URLs== Certain characters, called ''reserved characters'', are not allowed in URLs by the rules of the Internet. They are: {| cellpadding="6px" border=1 style="border:1px solid #C0C0C0; border-collapse:collapse; background-color:white;" |+RFC 3986 section 2.2 ''Reserved Characters'' (January 2005) |- | <code>[[exclamation mark|!]]</code> || <code>[[asterisk|<nowiki>*</nowiki>]]</code> || <code>[[apostrophe (mark)|']]</code> || <code>[[Parentheses|(]]</code> || <code>[[Parentheses|)]]</code> || <code>[[semicolon|;]]</code> || <code>[[colon (punctuation)|:]]</code> || <code>[[At sign|@]]</code> || <code>[[ampersand|&]]</code> || <code>[[equal sign|=]]</code> || <code>[[plus sign|+]]</code> || <code>[[dollar sign|$]]</code> || <code>[[comma (punctuation)|,]]</code> || <code>[[slash (punctuation)|/]]</code> || <code>[[question mark|?]]</code> || <code>[[number sign|#]]</code> || <code>[[bracket|[]]</code> || <code>[[bracket|<nowiki>]</nowiki>]]</code> |} Nevertheless, GBO will tolerate most of these characters in an URL and will form a link which contains them when a message is posted. There are three exceptions as used in these examples for a fictitious URL, <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aaXaa.html</nowiki>, where X is the reserved character: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Char !! URL in Link Tag/Insert Link (Input) !! Finished Link (Output) !! Result |- | <span style="color: #888888">''12''</span> || ' || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa'aa.html</nowiki> || || No link is formed. |- | <span style="color: #888888">''13''</span> || [ || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa[aa.html</nowiki> || <nowiki>[L=http://somesite.com/aa[aa.html][[/L]</nowiki> || Link is malformed. |- | <span style="color: #888888">''14''</span> || ] || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa]aa.html</nowiki> || <nowiki>aa.html]]</nowiki> || Link is malformed. |} To sum up, these characters must not be used directly in a GBO forum link target URL even if they work on the Internet in spite of breaking the rules. An actual example of such a rule-breaker that works is: <nowiki>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor's_Mansion_State_Historic_Park</nowiki>. Yet, due to the apostrophe, this URL will not form a link in the forum. However, there is a workaround for any link containing the three troublesome characters, namely, using a URL-shortening service (explained below) to avoid their direct use. In the case of the example, it has been shortened to <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/nadgen6</nowiki>, which will form a link. <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 19:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 20:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 21:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against using URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''22''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''23''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''24''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might not mean anything to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered in one of them. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: 1) title, 2) warning, 3) conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 28:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, it follows that anonymization can be disabled by breaking one or more of them. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 29:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. being the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 30:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before posting the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most Websites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly either way. However, some Websites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a Website that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the operators to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test the address first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20151020 6:16 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20151020 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 113ef99cfd942e4ad23ce4bedb31abe51773d14d 277 276 2015-10-21T02:09:26Z CampKohler 3383757 Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =Links Guide= How to make and use links in the GasBuddy Organization (GBO) message forum. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ====<u>Tutorial philosophy</u>==== Some have remarked that this tutorial is too technical. For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (or doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between: * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. The author places an anchor on the page where desired. * Target - The place&mdash;Website, page or place on a page&mdash;where a link leads to. This is the URL typically copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be usable because the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==Use of Reserved Characters in URLs== Certain characters, called ''reserved characters'', are not allowed in URLs by the rules of the Internet. They are: {| cellpadding="6px" border=1 style="border:1px solid #C0C0C0; border-collapse:collapse; background-color:white;" |+RFC 3986 section 2.2 ''Reserved Characters'' (January 2005) |- | <code>[[exclamation mark|!]]</code> || <code>[[asterisk|<nowiki>*</nowiki>]]</code> || <code>[[apostrophe (mark)|']]</code> || <code>[[Parentheses|(]]</code> || <code>[[Parentheses|)]]</code> || <code>[[semicolon|;]]</code> || <code>[[colon (punctuation)|:]]</code> || <code>[[At sign|@]]</code> || <code>[[ampersand|&]]</code> || <code>[[equal sign|=]]</code> || <code>[[plus sign|+]]</code> || <code>[[dollar sign|$]]</code> || <code>[[comma (punctuation)|,]]</code> || <code>[[slash (punctuation)|/]]</code> || <code>[[question mark|?]]</code> || <code>[[number sign|#]]</code> || <code>[[bracket|[]]</code> || <code>[[bracket|<nowiki>]</nowiki>]]</code> |} Nevertheless, GBO will tolerate most of these characters in a URL and will form a link which contains them when a message is posted. There are three exceptions as used in these examples for a fictitious URL, <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aaXaa.html</nowiki>, where X is the reserved character: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Char !! URL in Link Tag/Insert Link (Input) !! Finished Link (Output) !! Result |- | <span style="color: #888888">''12''</span> || ' || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa'aa.html</nowiki> || || No link is formed. |- | <span style="color: #888888">''13''</span> || [ || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa[aa.html</nowiki> || <nowiki>[L=http://somesite.com/aa[aa.html][[/L]</nowiki> || Link is malformed. |- | <span style="color: #888888">''14''</span> || ] || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa]aa.html</nowiki> || <nowiki>aa.html]]</nowiki> || Link is malformed. |} To sum up, these characters must not be used directly in a GBO forum link target URL even if they work on the Internet in spite of breaking the rules. An actual example of such a rule-breaker that works is: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor's_Mansion_State_Historic_Park|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor's_Mansion_State_Historic_Park]]. Yet, due to the apostrophe, this URL will not form a link in the forum. However, there is a workaround for any link containing one or more of the three troublesome characters, namely, using a URL-shortening service (explained below) to avoid their direct use. (In the case of the Park example, it has been shortened to <nowikik>tinyurl.com/nadgen6</nowiki>, which, of course, will form a link in the forum.) <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 19:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 20:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 21:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against linking to URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''22''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''23''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''24''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might not mean anything to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered in one of them. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: 1) title, 2) warning, 3) conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 28:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, it follows that anonymization can be disabled by breaking one or more of them. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 29:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. being the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 30:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before posting the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most Websites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly either way. However, some Websites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a Website that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the operators to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test the address first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20151020 7:04 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20151020 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 6cae6167d45d0fd07334ee99c96b5535e8c9df27 278 277 2015-10-21T02:11:51Z CampKohler 3383757 wikitext text/x-wiki =Links Guide= How to make and use links in the GasBuddy Organization (GBO) message forum. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ====<u>Tutorial philosophy</u>==== Some have remarked that this tutorial is too technical. For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (or doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between: * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. The author places an anchor on the page where desired. * Target - The place&mdash;Website, page or place on a page&mdash;where a link leads to. This is the URL typically copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be usable because the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==Use of Reserved Characters in URLs== Certain characters, called ''reserved characters'', are not allowed in URLs by the rules of the Internet. They are: {| cellpadding="6px" border=1 style="border:1px solid #C0C0C0; border-collapse:collapse; background-color:white;" |+RFC 3986 section 2.2 ''Reserved Characters'' (January 2005) |- | <code>[[exclamation mark|!]]</code> || <code>[[asterisk|<nowiki>*</nowiki>]]</code> || <code>[[apostrophe (mark)|']]</code> || <code>[[Parentheses|(]]</code> || <code>[[Parentheses|)]]</code> || <code>[[semicolon|;]]</code> || <code>[[colon (punctuation)|:]]</code> || <code>[[At sign|@]]</code> || <code>[[ampersand|&]]</code> || <code>[[equal sign|=]]</code> || <code>[[plus sign|+]]</code> || <code>[[dollar sign|$]]</code> || <code>[[comma (punctuation)|,]]</code> || <code>[[slash (punctuation)|/]]</code> || <code>[[question mark|?]]</code> || <code>[[number sign|#]]</code> || <code>[[bracket|[]]</code> || <code>[[bracket|<nowiki>]</nowiki>]]</code> |} Nevertheless, GBO will tolerate most of these characters in a URL and will form a link which contains them when a message is posted. There are three exceptions as used in these examples for a fictitious URL, <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aaXaa.html</nowiki>, where X is the reserved character: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Char !! URL in Link Tag/Insert Link (Input) !! Finished Link (Output) !! Result |- | <span style="color: #888888">''12''</span> || ' || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa'aa.html</nowiki> || || No link is formed. |- | <span style="color: #888888">''13''</span> || [ || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa[aa.html</nowiki> || <nowiki>[L=http://somesite.com/aa[aa.html][[/L]</nowiki> || Link is malformed. |- | <span style="color: #888888">''14''</span> || ] || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa]aa.html</nowiki> || <nowiki>aa.html]]</nowiki> || Link is malformed. |} To sum up, these characters must not be used directly in a GBO forum link target URL even if they work on the Internet in spite of breaking the rules. An actual example of such a rule-breaker that works is: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor's_Mansion_State_Historic_Park|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor's_Mansion_State_Historic_Park]]. Yet, due to the apostrophe, this URL will not form a link in the forum. However, there is a workaround for any link containing one or more of the three troublesome characters, namely, using a URL-shortening service (explained below) to avoid their direct use. (In the case of the Park example, it has been shortened to <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/nadgen6</nowiki>, which, of course, will form a link in the forum.) <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 19:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 20:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 21:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against linking to URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''22''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''23''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''24''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might not mean anything to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered in one of them. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: 1) title, 2) warning, 3) conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 28:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, it follows that anonymization can be disabled by breaking one or more of them. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 29:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. being the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 30:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before posting the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most Websites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly either way. However, some Websites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a Website that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the operators to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test the address first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20151020 7:04 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20151020 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> cc70192051ef7bad2ca06aa3bf95e30be334c297 279 278 2015-10-21T02:15:41Z CampKohler 3383757 wikitext text/x-wiki =Links Guide= How to make and use links in the GasBuddy Organization (GBO) message forum. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ====<u>Tutorial philosophy</u>==== Some have remarked that this tutorial is too technical. For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (or doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between: * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. The author places an anchor on the page where desired. * Target - The place&mdash;Website, page or place on a page&mdash;where a link leads to. This is the URL typically copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be usable because the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==Use of Reserved Characters in URLs== Certain characters, called ''reserved characters'', are not allowed in URLs by the rules of the Internet. They are: {| cellpadding="6px" border=1 style="border:1px solid #C0C0C0; border-collapse:collapse; background-color:white;" |+RFC 3986 section 2.2 ''Reserved Characters'' (January 2005) |- | <code>[[exclamation mark|!]]</code> || <code>[[asterisk|<nowiki>*</nowiki>]]</code> || <code>[[apostrophe (mark)|']]</code> || <code>[[Parentheses|(]]</code> || <code>[[Parentheses|)]]</code> || <code>[[semicolon|;]]</code> || <code>[[colon (punctuation)|:]]</code> || <code>[[At sign|@]]</code> || <code>[[ampersand|&]]</code> || <code>[[equal sign|=]]</code> || <code>[[plus sign|+]]</code> || <code>[[dollar sign|$]]</code> || <code>[[comma (punctuation)|,]]</code> || <code>[[slash (punctuation)|/]]</code> || <code>[[question mark|?]]</code> || <code>[[number sign|#]]</code> || <code>[[bracket|[]]</code> || <code>[[bracket|<nowiki>]</nowiki>]]</code> |} Nevertheless, GBO will tolerate most of these characters in a URL and will form a link which contains them when a message is posted. There are three exceptions as used in these examples for a fictitious URL, <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aaXaa.html</nowiki>, where X is the reserved character: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Char !! URL in Link Tag/Insert Link (Input) !! Finished Link (Output) !! Result |- | <span style="color: #888888">''12''</span> || ' || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa'aa.html</nowiki> || || No link is formed. |- | <span style="color: #888888">''13''</span> || [ || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa[aa.html</nowiki> || <nowiki>[L=http://somesite.com/aa[aa.html][[/L]</nowiki> || Link is malformed. |- | <span style="color: #888888">''14''</span> || ] || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa]aa.html</nowiki> || <nowiki>aa.html]]</nowiki> || Link is malformed. |} To sum up, these characters must not be used directly in a GBO forum link target URL even if they work on the Internet in spite of breaking the rules. An actual example of such a rule-breaker that works is: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor's_Mansion_State_Historic_Park|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor's_Mansion_State_Historic_Park]. Yet, due to the apostrophe, this URL will not form a link in the forum. However, there is a workaround for any link containing one or more of the three troublesome characters, namely, using a URL-shortening service (explained below) to avoid their direct use. (In the case of the Park example, it has been shortened to <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/nadgen6</nowiki>, which, of course, will form a link in the forum.) <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 19:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 20:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 21:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against linking to URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''22''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''23''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''24''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might not mean anything to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered in one of them. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: 1) title, 2) warning, 3) conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 28:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, it follows that anonymization can be disabled by breaking one or more of them. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 29:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. being the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 30:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before posting the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most Websites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly either way. However, some Websites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a Website that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the operators to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test the address first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20151020 7:04 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20151020 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 419904858763e3557ff70fc9b77832502b767049 280 279 2015-10-21T02:17:17Z CampKohler 3383757 Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =Links Guide= How to make and use links in the GasBuddy Organization (GBO) message forum. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ====<u>Tutorial philosophy</u>==== Some have remarked that this tutorial is too technical. For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (or doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between: * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. The author places an anchor on the page where desired. * Target - The place&mdash;Website, page or place on a page&mdash;where a link leads to. This is the URL typically copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be usable because the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==Use of Reserved Characters in URLs== Certain characters, called ''reserved characters'', are not allowed in URLs by the rules of the Internet. They are: {| cellpadding="6px" border=1 style="border:1px solid #C0C0C0; border-collapse:collapse; background-color:white;" |+RFC 3986 section 2.2 ''Reserved Characters'' (January 2005) |- | <code>[[exclamation mark|!]]</code> || <code>[[asterisk|<nowiki>*</nowiki>]]</code> || <code>[[apostrophe (mark)|']]</code> || <code>[[Parentheses|(]]</code> || <code>[[Parentheses|)]]</code> || <code>[[semicolon|;]]</code> || <code>[[colon (punctuation)|:]]</code> || <code>[[At sign|@]]</code> || <code>[[ampersand|&]]</code> || <code>[[equal sign|=]]</code> || <code>[[plus sign|+]]</code> || <code>[[dollar sign|$]]</code> || <code>[[comma (punctuation)|,]]</code> || <code>[[slash (punctuation)|/]]</code> || <code>[[question mark|?]]</code> || <code>[[number sign|#]]</code> || <code>[[bracket|[]]</code> || <code>[[bracket|<nowiki>]</nowiki>]]</code> |} Nevertheless, GBO will tolerate most of these characters in a URL and will form a link which contains them when a message is posted. There are three exceptions as used in these examples for a fictitious URL, <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aaXaa.html</nowiki>, where X is the reserved character: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Char !! URL in Link Tag/Insert Link (Input) !! Finished Link (Output) !! Result |- | <span style="color: #888888">''12''</span> || ' || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa'aa.html</nowiki> || || No link is formed. |- | <span style="color: #888888">''13''</span> || [ || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa[aa.html</nowiki> || <nowiki>[L=http://somesite.com/aa[aa.html][[/L]</nowiki> || Link is malformed. |- | <span style="color: #888888">''14''</span> || ] || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa]aa.html</nowiki> || <nowiki>aa.html]]</nowiki> || Link is malformed. |} To sum up, these characters must not be used directly in a GBO forum link target URL even if they work on the Internet in spite of breaking the rules. An actual example of such a rule-breaker that works is: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor's_Mansion_State_Historic_Park https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor's_Mansion_State_Historic_Park]. Yet, due to the apostrophe, this URL will not form a link in the forum. However, there is a workaround for any link containing one or more of the three troublesome characters, namely, using a URL-shortening service (explained below) to avoid their direct use. (In the case of the Park example, it has been shortened to <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/nadgen6</nowiki>, which, of course, will form a link in the forum.) <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrase in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 19:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 20:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 21:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against linking to URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''22''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''23''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''24''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might not mean anything to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered in one of them. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: 1) title, 2) warning, 3) conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 28:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, it follows that anonymization can be disabled by breaking one or more of them. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 29:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. being the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 30:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before posting the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most Websites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly either way. However, some Websites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a Website that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work.

If you are using a mobile phone app, the most likely reason that you can't find an existing station is that the ''Current Station Status'' field contained in the station's record in the ''Master Station List'' (MLS) has blocked the station's appearance; because of status, the station is missing from lists and maps and is therefore invisible to the user. Here are the possible ''Current Station Status''es and how they effect stations' appearances in the mobile apps: {| class=wikitable |- !Current<br> Station Status !Status Meaning !Station Appears in Apps? !

You can ask a Sr. Member to do it for you by posting a new topic in the local discussion category of the forum. Here's how:<br><br> ## Click the ''Forum'' tab on the banner menu (at the top of every full-site page). ## Click the yellow-starred ''[your-site-name-here] discussion'' category, to open the ''Topic Index'' page. This is where you communicate with the members of your assigned GBO site. ## Click the ''Post New Topic'' button to open title and text dialog boxes. You will compose a message to your local members here. ## In the narrow title box at the top, type a title that will distinguish your topic from all others, e.g. "Request to add station in BoPeep, MI." Compose this carefully, because after five minutes it cannot be changed. Avoid titles that will not convey the topic meaning, e.g. "Newbie needs help." TIP: You may have to type a few letters in the text box in order to get the title box to accept input. ## In the fat text box at the bottom, which will become the so-called Original Post (OP) of the topic, request that a Sr. Member add the station for you. Include as much of the data as you can obtain that would appear in the station record. A blank record form can be seen [[Blank-edit-form|here]]. ## After five minutes passes from clicking the ''Post Message'' button, you will no longer be able to edit the OP. However you can create as many replies to the OP as you wish in order to supply additional data, to supply corrections, or even enter an amended version of the data.

Also, for general procedural questions (not pertaining to local matters, in which case the locals should be consulted), you can inquire in the national Talk Back to Us category. ## After adding a station, you can review your work in several ways, all involving looking at the station's MSL ''Edit'' page; no changes occur unless you click ''Save Updated Station Information''. ::::* From the MSL page, use the ''Search the list for your station'' section to search for the record. ::::# Until you learn the finer points of the search, enter as little as data as necessary to define the station, e.g. ''Station [Name]'' and a word of the station's ''[Exact] Street [Address]''.<ref>Names of site pages and parts thereof are not always consistent throughout the site. Where incomplete names (in the author's opinion) appear, they are shown in this guide accompanied by completing words in square brackets ([) and (]). For example, field ''Station'' in the MSL search menu is field ''Station Name'' in MSL records, and so could be expressed as ''Station [Name]'' for clarity.</ref> ::::# Click the ''Find My Station'' button to produce a list of all stations meeting the entered criteria. ::::# Examine the one or several pages of stations to find the desired station. ::::# Click the ''Edit'' button of the desired station record to produce the ''Edit'' page. ::::* From any price list where the station can be seen, click the Station Name and, from the resulting ''Station Detail Page'', click the ''Update Station Features'' button to produce the ''Edit'' page. ::::* From the ''Map Gas Prices'' map, selected from the ''Maps'' tab of the banner menu and properly positioned, locate the station. ::::# Click the station's marker to open a balloon. ::::# Click the ''View Details'' button to open the ''Station Detail'' page. ::::# Click the ''Update Station Features'' button to open the ''Edit'' page. <br> ==Changing Existing MSL Station Records== The procedure is much like adding a station. Either request a Sr. Member to do it for you or edit the record yourself after becoming a Sr. Member, using the methods of 7), above. <br><br> ==Editing the MSL from the Apps== Any editing facility seen in the apps is merely a request for an edit that may or may not be granted depending on many factors. Contrast with the full-site edit of the previous section, which is a real edit with immediate effect.<ref>There is a problem with the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' feature, which although correct in the MSL, does not always transfer its effect to the apps. See the [[Bug-list|GBO Bug List]] for details and status of this problem.)</ref> <br><br> ==Notes== <references /> <br><br> ''Version:'' 20150405 2:13 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20150405 --CampKohler {{reflist}} <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki/wiki/Newbie-changes--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides.newbie-changes_YYYYMMDD.txt--> 184a3ea6026b1e19f2a7737d37d51380252d0a83 0 31 248 225 2015-05-22T20:30:56Z CampKohler 3383757 Protected "[[Local-menus]]" ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) wikitext text/x-wiki =Local Menus Guide= How to maintain search menus on GasBuddy Organization (GBO) metro-area sites. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ==Local Search Menu Description== The drop-down search menus at GBO metro-area sites are not, as one might imagine, automatically derived from the state's portion of the Master Station List (MSL). It is hand-maintained by GBO by selecting certain stations and omitting others, thus it is not only a subset of all the stations in the state, it is a subset of all the stations in the metro-area. This is done for the purpose of having short search menus. This begs the question, which stations are to be included and which are not? ==Degradation of the Local Menu== There are two groups of stations that can appear on the local menu: major chains and independents (which includes small, local chains). The former, e.g. ARCO, Shell, Chevron, Texaco and so forth, will be relatively stable over long time periods, because unless a new chain enters the market, withdraws from the market or changes its name, they will rarely change, whereas the latter come and go relatively often. Realizing this, members must take it upon themselves to periodically review their own metro-area site menu (or those of other sites if they are knowledgeable about them) and recommend to GBO the changes necessary to update them. The longer the time between examinations, the more opportunity there is for the menu to become degraded. The menu should be analyzed to update major chains by: 1) Adding chains that have established a new presence in the metro-area, possibly with only a single station. 2) Deleting chains that have lost all presence in the metro-area. The menu should be analyzed to update independent stations by: 1) Adding new stations that maintain low prices. 2) Revising existing stations that have changed their names. 3) Deleting stations that have closed. 4) Adding stations that have multiple local locations (which increases their importance to local users). 5) Adding existing stations that maintain low prices as compared to others. 6) If necessary, deleting stations that do not maintain low prices (which decreases their importance to local users). ==Updating the Local Menu== Once you have determined what must be done to update the menu, send a PM to a moderator requesting the changes in such a manner that it will be obvious that you have done your homework and the work is reliable. Here is an example of a recent successful request: {| style="background: #e0e0e0;" |- | <code>"Our list is getting a bit shaky, so I researched it.<br> sactogasprices.com<br> <br> --Begin--<br> ....Delete (no such stations in Sacto metro-area)<br> Kings Gas<br> USA Gasoline<br> Spirit<br> Come 'n' Go<br> ....Revise<br> Speed Bird s/b Speed Bird Liquor & Food<br> ....Add (price leaders or multiple stations)<br> Sinclair<br> Circle 7<br> Big "D" Liquor & Food<br> DG Gasoline<br> One Stop Gas<br> Bell Gas 'n' Diesel<br> CJ Gas<br> Econo Gas<br> Gas & Shop<br> Towne Mart<br> --End--<br> <br> Thanks!"</code> |} GBO seems very amenable to this kind of request. ==Local Coordination== Especially for large metro-areas, it may be advisable to start a topic in the forum local discussion category for the specific purpose of gaining concensus about proposed menu changes. The text of the original post (OP) could include a link to this guide for those members who might be unfamiliar with maintaining the menu. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20150429 12:00 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20140429 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Local-menus.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_local-menus_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> fbf39f7c4f1824732e82c60c689ddccabc5e5965 0 23 249 208 2015-05-22T20:31:30Z CampKohler 3383757 Protected "[[Msl-edit-form]]" ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) wikitext text/x-wiki __NOTOC__ =MSL Blank Edit Form= This form may be used to gather the necessary data to add a station record to the Master Station List.

Also see the Resources section below. Due to the workload of the GBO staff, it is recommended that the full-site forum be used first to see if other members can help. The full-site forum has two categories of interest: * The Suggest a GasBuddy Improvement category - for suggesting changes to the system (so not for seeking help). * The Talk Back to Us category - this is where you can ask questions and get preliminary help. If the help desired is not forthcoming, either from members or staff, then escalate to the staff (see the next section). ==Help from Members== From any metro-area/state/province site page's banner menu, Click Forum | Tall Back to Us to reach the category where members typically ask for help. Review what other members are saying to see if they need the same help you do. If you find no help there (or in the Resource section below), start a new topic: # Go to your metro-area/state/province home site (although any such site will do for this purpose as the forum is on all of them). # Log in with your GBO nickname and password, else you will not be able to write, just read. # From any page's banner menu, click ''Forum''. The category index appears. # Click the ''Talk Back to Us'' category. The topic index appears. # Click ''Post a New Topic''. A dialog box appears for creating the original post (OP). # Type an informative topic title that will tell readers what the topic is about. Avoid vague titles, i.e. "I need help," "A question," "How do I make it work?" and the like. A little thought here will help the community in the future; pretend you will get paid a thousand dollars if you do it right. # When asking for help, you must keep uppermost in mind that readers will not know what you know about how you use the system or exactly what the problem is; you must explicitly spell it out in detail: * Are you using the full site, mobile site or a mobile app? If mobile app, which phone type and what is the app version number? * What are the steps you are doing when you encounter the problem? If there are six mouse clicks necessary to get to where the problem is, then give all six; don't assume readers will know what you did. It is better to over describe than to under describe. * Use the terminology you see in the system to refer to pages and screens. If a screen is labeled Station Details, then use that term rather than something you make up, else readers can't confirm they are doing what you did. For example, if you call a list of the top 30-day points earners the "30-day Leader Board," but the list has a title of "30-day Points Leaders," then use the latter, not the former. (Note: Terminology may not be consistent across the entire system, so use what you see at the problem point.) * Is the problem consistently repeatable or is it intermittent? If the latter, how often does it occur? * Does the problem survive relaunching the software and rebooting the device? If a mobile app, does deleting and reinstalling help? ==Help from GBO Staff== As of Sep 2015, all previous methods to contact staff are being discontinued in favor of two new methods: * New help site Contact Us page - ** From [http:help.gasbuddy.com http:help.gasbuddy.com], under the appropriate section, click the desired topic. (A URL for the question will appear in the browser address window. It may be copied and given to others.) ==Resources== * '''Official FAQ List''' - Visit and bookmark one of these Frequently Asked Questions pages on a full site: ** New HQ site version (A URL for a question appears in the browser address window when the question clicked. It may be copied and given to others.) - *** Click the page bottom link: Contact Us | Read our FAQ *** Or [http://www.gasbuddy.com/contactus/faq http://www.gasbuddy.com/contactus/faq] ** Old HQ site version and current metro-area/state/province site version (A URL for a question appears in the browser address window when a separate link at right is clicked. It may be copied and given to others.) - *** From any page-top's banner menu, click Help | FAQ. *** From any page bottom's links list, under Help, click FAQ. *** Or [http://then.gasbuddy.com/faq.aspx http://then.gasbuddy.com/faq.aspx] * '''Offical News''' - A What's New announcement may contain useful information. (Note: This page has not been diligently maintained in the past, but improvements may be forthcoming.) There are three methods of reaching it. ** From any full-site page's banner menu, click Help | What's New. ** From any full-site page's bottom links list, under Help, click What's New. ** Or [http://www.gasbuddy.com/Announce.aspx http://www.gasbuddy.com/Announce.aspx]. * '''Unofficial Guides''' - There is a set of tutorials at [[Main_Page|gb-guides.shoutwiki.com]], one of which may provide you with the help you need. * '''Unofficial Bug List''' - There is a [necessarily partial] list of system bugs at [[bug-list|http://tinyurl.com/gbobuglist]]. See if your problem is recorded there. * '''Official Forum Announcements''' - From time to time, GBO publishes a topic in the [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_Topics.aspx?category=1055 Talk Back to Us] category of the forum (outages, policy changes, etc.) which may be of help. These can be seen in the index for that category. * '''Official Forum Replies''' - From time to time, a GBO moderator will provide information in reply to a member topic that may be useful to others in the future. There is no formal method to record these; it may depend upon community memory to dredge them up when needed. ---- ''Please send any corrections/contributions/organizational suggestions to CampKohler via PM, whiteboard or by E-mail to campkohler at hotmail dot com.''

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels are: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels (non-taxed fuels) * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) * Kerosine * Kickapoo Joy Juice <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a more useful size. Members would form groups by area and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. It would be confusing to combine widely-separated areas into one report. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the existing boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis, advertising the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Obtaining member participation== Initially, you may wish to PM or whiteboard members who report prices in the given area and ask for their participation in the reporting effort for the given fuel. Additionally, you may ask them if they know of anyone else who would be willing to participate, either as a reporter or user. Efforts to obtain participation could even extend to outside the GBO community, thus adding new members. You may wish to invite the use of the forum topic, for a given fuel and reporting area, for discussions about the reporting methods used or how they can be improved. However, discussions about the fuels themselves should probably be directed to the national forum topics, because that's where the major audience would exist for those discussions. <br><br> ==Using the GBO forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently-posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions, or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list (shown as typed):''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list (shown as typed):''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.

For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> will have the same appearance to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== Official table help may be seen [http://www.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Help:Tables here.] A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A table-starting code, which begins the table - <nowiki>{|</nowiki> # A table class that automatically defines many appearance items # A new-row code that signals that a row of the table follows - <nowiki>|-</nowiki> # A header row code <nowiki>!</nowiki> to begin the row. Being a header row, all words will be bolded by default. # The row data - In the case of this table header, the names of the columns are shown, each name being separated by two exclamation points, except for the last name in the row, which needs to be followed by nothing. # An ordinary row code <nowiki>|</nowiki>, to begin the row. Being am ordinary row, all words will not be bolded. # The row data - In the case of a price report row, the elements of the report are shown, each element being separated by tow pipe symbols <nowiki>||</nowiki>, except for the last element in the row, which needs to be followed by nothing. # A table-ending code, which ends the table. The input typed for a table might look like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 12 - A wiki table's code (shown as typed):''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- <!--Begins the code.--> |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable</nowiki><br> <nowiki>!Price!!Vendor!!Address!!Cross St!!ZIP!!Date<br>Spotted!!Time<br>Spotted!!Member!!Note<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -3.68a||ARCO||1670 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1001||12:05PM||Boatfreak33||14</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.98a||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.08e||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.99a||The River Shop||2334 Old River Rd||Hwy 65||75842||1002||7:00PM||Calloway||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -4.01a||Inlet Marine Supply||5089 Marlinspike Rd||Hwy 65||75844||1001||Catfancier||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.13s||Joe's Bilge||7033 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:05PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-<br> <nowiki>| 4.15s||Watersport||6988 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:15PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -- --a||Marine Spot||1700 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||0931||1:14 PM||Flycaster||1</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.23s||The Fern Dock||1656 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||8:00AM||Flycaster||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <!--Ends the code--> |} <!--Display table ends--> Note that each data item is "enclosed" by two pipe symbols (|), except for the first item, which has not item preceding it, and the last item in the line which needs no closing pipe (it is assumed by the system).

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly. The table's header row, by virtue of it's exclamation marks, is bolded by default. <br> ====<u>A table in a page</u>==== Here is the code for a typical page to hold the table of Examples 12 & 13:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 14 - A wiki page less table (shown as typed):''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <span style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">(The code for the table of Example 12 goes here.)</span><br> <nowiki>''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Legend:'' Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted"<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Related Forum Topic:''[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices for Blatzburg and N.

This is explained in the next section. ====<u>A warning about the special spacing requirement in the table for prices</u>==== Normally, the data in a table cell could begin immediately after the pipe (|) symbol; no space is required between them. However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using E-mail to publish price lists== It can be argued that the forum and wiki methods are preferable to using E-mail, because the lists may be viewed at any time, whereas users must wait for the arrival of an E-mailed price list. However, a common E-mail account may overcome this. This method may simply mimic the forum method with the exception of the latest instructions appearing in the forum topic which advertizes the list. All techniques not available in the forum, but which are available to E-mails, e.g. HTML, HTML entities, bolding, italics, etc. may be used. One user would copy the previous list to the next one, incorporating his latest reports. The E-mail subject line should begin with the date-time group of the list. This will make it easier for users to manage their inboxes by deleting old lists. ==Using a common E-mail account== Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list. Procedures would need to be adopted to guide users in doing list maintenance. If a single E-mail account is created and used by all users, these problems would not exist, however limiting access to the account might be required to prevent vandalism. Perhaps newbies, after a probationary period of making reports and receiving them in their own accounts, could be awarded access to the common account. ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line shown marked up to be bolded (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line shown bolded (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word shown marked up to be italicized (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word shown italicized (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== In the examples of wiki pages given above, a note number was placed in a table row and, below, where the author wishes to place the notes, similar note numbers were typed (along with the note itself). This was an entirely manual process, the author being responsible for matching the numbers. When a report line is deleted, the corresponding note is deleted, leaving gaps in the note numbers to save renumbering everything. The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process.<ref>It may be that once a template is called, the template code itself may be deleted from a wiki page and the template will still function. There is no guarantee that the template will function later in a different session. Therefore, the template code should always be present on every page on which it is needed.</ref> # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Follow the word Notes with tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order in which they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags are deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. If a note is added, the notes will likewise be automatically renumbered. This is a minimal example to show the appearance of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> Which renders as:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes (shown as published):''</span>:</code></span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<br> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> Notes:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <span style="color: red">Template:Reflist</span> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths (shown as published).</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired (but vertically as well as horizontally). The element cellpadding is added after the table class: {| border="1" cellpadding="20" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} There are several methods of governing the width of a column, but by letting the system do it, it may be more readable when using different devices (such as smartphones), because the browsers can adjust how the columns are viewed. Anyone seeking to adjust columns manually may contact the author for additional advice if necessary. ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code>before the data and </span> following it. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Choosing Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use the name ''guides'', but there are likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The M and the P case sensitive, but it shouldn't matter, because there will be little reason to type this page name. This is because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive, except for the first letter of the name, which is non-case-sensitive. Thus ''cat'' is the same as ''Cat''. but ''CAT'' will fail because the ''AT'' will not be recognized as the ''C'' will. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case in the name used. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. If this precaution is taken, except for ''Main_Page'' (which must be typed that way). all names may be typed all lower case, which is what most users do. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 20150113 6:49 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20150113 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> =Using a common E-mail account= Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list.

Therefore, the template code should always be present on every page on which it is needed.</ref> # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Follow the word Notes with tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order in which they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags are deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. If a note is added, the notes will likewise be automatically renumbered. This is a minimal example to show the appearance of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> Which renders as:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes (shown as published):''</span>:</code></span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<br> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> Notes:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <span style="color: red">Template:Reflist</span> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths (shown as published).</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired (but vertically as well as horizontally). The element cellpadding is added after the table class: {| border="1" cellpadding="20" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} There are several methods of governing the width of a column, but by letting the system do it, it may be more readable when using different devices (such as smartphones), because the browsers can adjust how the columns are viewed. ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code>before the data and </span> following it. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Choosing Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use the name ''guides'', but there are likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The M and the P case sensitive, but it shouldn't matter, because there will be little reason to type this page name. This is because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive, except for the first letter of the name, which is non-case-sensitive. Thus ''cat'' is the same as ''Cat''. but ''CAT'' will fail because the ''AT'' will not be recognized as the ''C'' will. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case in the name used. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. If this precaution is taken, except for ''Main_Page'' (which must be typed that way). all names may be typed all lower case, which is what most users do. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 201509272 12:25 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20150927 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> 7abcd9a8c1788f9753f013d227cc5ddb9522db63 0 21 285 284 2016-06-16T07:00:52Z CampKohler 3383757 Update wikitext text/x-wiki =GasBuddy Bug List= A list of problems discovered in the full site, mobile site and mobile phone apps and their status.<br> This page is attached to the GB-Guides wiki, but is not listed as a guide.<br> Shortened URL for this list: '''tinyURL.com/gbobuglist'''<br> __TOC__ ===Legend=== 1.

(Any GBO Help Center case posting time will likely be different.)<br> * ''Reporting Member'' - The nickname of the member first reporting the bug, except in additional rows, the nickname(s) of others who have reported it. * ''Bug Name'' - The bug name necessarily incorporates a brief description of the bug.

Multiple links will be listed as separate lines in the table having the same ID, but leaving other columns blank. * ''Case Number'' - The Zendesk-issued case number seen in the immediate auto-response E-mail when the Help Center is used to report the problem. The reporting member should post it the reporting topic so that it can be entered here. * ''Confirm Date'' - The date that another member confirmed the bug. * ''Confirming Member'' - The nickname of the first member to confirm the bug. * ''Fix Date'' - The date the bug has been discovered to be fixed or it has been concluded that there is no bug. Unless otherwise noted, all fixes are reported by a moderator in the topic where the bug was reported. * Note - Numbered notes where explanatory remarks are required. 2.

If a new problem is suspected, it is recommended that the [https://help.gasbuddy.com/hc/en-us Help Center] and the forum Talk Back To Us category topics first be consulted, and, if warranted, the problem be posted in the forum and reported via the [https://help.gasbuddy.com/hc/en-us/requests/new GBO help Center request E-mail page].<br> This page is attached to the GB-Guides wiki, but is not listed as a guide.<br> Shortened URL for this list: '''tinyURL.com/gbobuglist'''<br><br> __TOC__ <br><br> ===Protocol=== # A new bug should cause a topic to be created in the forum, preferably in the Talk Back to Us category. # A new bug is entered into a new row of the appropriate the table below. # The new row includes a link to the topic number at then.gasbuddy.com for viewing only. (It is not possible to log into then.gasbuddy.com. If it is desirable to reply in the topic, please log into and access the topic from your state/province/metro-area site.) # If in the same topic a member confirms the bug, the confirmation is entered into the same row. Any second or greater report topic for a bug is deemed to be a confirming topic. # If in a different topic a member confirms the bug, the confirmation is entered into a separate new row created for the purpose. (This could result in there being many confirmation rows following the reporting row. The intent is to list all topics about the same bug to create a history.) A confirming row will only show: ## The same ''Bug ID'' and ''Bug Name'' in the expected columns, ## The additional topic's number in the ''Forum Topic'' column, ## The additional topic's OP date in the ''Confirm Date'' column. ## The additional topic's author in the ''Confirming Member'' column, ## Optional numbered table notes (seen below each table). ## Optional numbered list notes (seen at the bottom of this List). ===Legend=== 1. Table column usage: * ''?'' (Bug status) - This column will have a plus sign (+) when the bug is fixed or an x if it is concluded there is no bug (false alarm).<br> * ''Bug ID'' - The bug ID number is the posting date-time-group (adjusted to Eastern time zone) of the original post (OP) of the forum topic where the bug was first announced in order to assure a unique number. (Any GBO Help Center case posting time will likely be different.)<br> * ''Reporting Member'' - The nickname of the member first reporting the bug, except in additional rows, the nickname(s) of others who have reported it. * ''Bug Name'' - The bug name necessarily incorporates a brief description of the bug. See the forum topic OP and replies for details. * ''Forum Topic'' - A link to the topic where the bug was first announced. Multiple links will be listed as separate lines in the table having the same ID, but leaving other columns blank. * ''Case Number'' - The Zendesk-issued case number seen in the immediate auto-response E-mail when the Help Center is used to report the problem. The reporting member should post it the reporting topic so that it can be entered here. * ''Confirm Date'' - The date that another member confirmed the bug. * ''Confirming Member'' - The nickname of the first member to confirm the bug. * ''Fix Date'' - The date the bug has been discovered to be fixed or it has been concluded that there is no bug. Unless otherwise noted, all fixes are reported by a moderator in the topic where the bug was reported. * ''Notes'' - Optional numbered table notes. # Note usage: * Numbered table notes appearing in any table are displayed immediately below that table; they do not apply to any other table. * Numbered list notes appear at the bottom of the list and apply to the list as a whole. .<br><br> ==Full Site Bugs== {| class="wikitable" |- !? !Bug ID<ref>Adjusted to Easter time.</ref> !Reporting<br>Member !Bug Name !Forum<br>Topic !Case !Confirm<br>Date !Confirming<br>Member !Fix<br>Date !Note |- | || 20160914175451 || [http://www.sactogasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=CampKohler CampKohler] || Member Points: Table/link collision on page. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=654051 654051] || 90583 || 20160915 || Ryan (GBO) || || |- | || 20160912192153 || [http://www.midlandodessagasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=gax gax] || Points History: Unreadable due to font colors used. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=653853 653853] || || 20160912 || [http://www.tampagasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=TxJeans TxJeans] || || |- | || 20160912192153 || || Points History: Unreadable due to font colors used. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=654039 654039] || || 20160914 || [http://www.sanjosegasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=dakirw dakirw] || || |- | || 20160912192153 || || Points History: Unreadable due to font colors used. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=654119 654119] || || 20160915 || [http://www.michigangasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=zcolt45 zcolt45] || || |- | || 2016082182816 || [http://www.sactogasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=CampKohler CampKohler] || Photo: Initial caption too short for final caption. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=652175 652175] || 80390 || || || || |- | || 20160731174838 || [http://www.sactogasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=CampKohler CampKohler] || Ads overlay banner menu and/or page content. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=650566 650566] || 76235 || || || || |- | || 20160731174838 || || Ads overlay banner menu and/or page content. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=650120 650120] || || 20160725 || [http://www.tenneseegasprices.com/Profile.aspx?member=SEBROCK SEBROCK] || || |- | || 20160731174838 || || Ads overlay banner menu and/or page content. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=650081 650081] || || 20160731 || [http://www.phillygasprices.com/Profile.aspx?member=rgpiccone rgpiccone] || || |- | || 20150528174234 || [http://www.indygasprics.com/profile.aspx?member=jt4703 jt4703] || PC monitor screen: Pages now too wide. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=612345 612345] || || 20150529 || [http://www.tampagasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=TxJeans TxJeans] || || |- | || 20150513122339 || [http://www.newyorkgasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=LarryMarg LarryMarg] || Thank You page: There's a newer price. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=611007 611007] || || 20150707 || [http://www.orangecounty.com/profile.aspx?member=Bytebug Bytebug] || || |- | || 20150513122339 || || Thank You page: There's a newer price. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=612646 612646] || || 20150701 || [http://www.losangelesgasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=Darrel+H.

(It is not possible to log into then.gasbuddy.com. If it is desirable to reply in the topic, please log into and access the topic from your state/province/metro-area site.) # If in the same topic a member confirms the bug, the confirmation is entered into the same row. Any second or greater report topic for a bug is deemed to be a confirming topic. # If in a different topic a member confirms the bug, the confirmation is entered into a separate new row created for the purpose. (This could result in there being many confirmation rows following the reporting row. The intent is to list all topics about the same bug to create a history.) A confirming row will only show: ## The same ''Bug ID'' and ''Bug Name'' in the expected columns, ## The additional topic's number in the ''Forum Topic'' column, ## The additional topic's OP date in the ''Confirm Date'' column. ## The additional topic's author in the ''Confirming Member'' column, ## Optional numbered table notes (seen below each table). ## Optional numbered list notes (seen at the bottom of this List). ===Legend=== 1. Table column usage: * ''?'' (Bug status) - This column will have a plus sign (+) when the bug is fixed or an x if it is concluded there is no bug (false alarm).<br> * ''Bug ID'' - The bug ID number is the posting date-time-group (adjusted to Eastern time zone) of the original post (OP) of the forum topic where the bug was first announced in order to assure a unique number. (Any GBO Help Center case posting time will likely be different.)<br> * ''Reporting Member'' - The nickname of the member first reporting the bug, except in additional rows, the nickname(s) of others who have reported it. * ''Bug Name'' - The bug name necessarily incorporates a brief description of the bug. See the forum topic OP and replies for details. * ''Forum Topic'' - A link to the topic where the bug was first announced. Multiple links will be listed as separate lines in the table having the same ID, but leaving other columns blank. * ''Case Number'' - The Zendesk-issued case number seen in the immediate auto-response E-mail when the Help Center is used to report the problem. The reporting member should post it the reporting topic so that it can be entered here. * ''Confirm Date'' - The date that another member confirmed the bug. * ''Confirming Member'' - The nickname of the first member to confirm the bug. * ''Fix Date'' - The date the bug has been discovered to be fixed or it has been concluded that there is no bug. Unless otherwise noted, all fixes are reported by a moderator in the topic where the bug was reported. * ''Notes'' - Optional numbered table notes. # Note usage: * Numbered table notes appearing in any table are displayed immediately below that table; they do not apply to any other table. * Numbered list notes appear at the bottom of the list and apply to the list as a whole. .<br><br> ==Full Site Bugs== {| class="wikitable" |- !? !Bug ID<ref>Adjusted to Easter time.</ref> !Reporting<br>Member !Bug Name !Forum<br>Topic !Case !Confirm<br>Date !Confirming<br>Member !Fix<br>Date !Note |- | + || 20160914175451 || [http://www.sactogasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=CampKohler CampKohler] || Member Points: Table/link collision on page. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=654051 654051] || 90583 || 20160915 || Ryan (GBO) || 20160915 || |- | + || 20160912192153 || [http://www.midlandodessagasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=gax gax] || Points History: Unreadable due to font colors used. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=653853 653853] || || 20160912 || [http://www.tampagasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=TxJeans TxJeans] || 20160915 || |- | + || 20160912192153 || || Points History: Unreadable due to font colors used. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=654039 654039] || || 20160914 || [http://www.sanjosegasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=dakirw dakirw] || 20160915 || |- | + || 20160912192153 || || Points History: Unreadable due to font colors used. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=654119 654119] || || 20160915 || [http://www.michigangasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=zcolt45 zcolt45] || 2-160915 || |- | || 2016082182816 || [http://www.sactogasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=CampKohler CampKohler] || Photo: Initial caption too short for final caption. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=652175 652175] || 80390 || || || || |- | || 20160731174838 || [http://www.sactogasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=CampKohler CampKohler] || Ads overlay banner menu and/or page content. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=650566 650566] || 76235 || || || || |- | || 20160731174838 || || Ads overlay banner menu and/or page content. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=650120 650120] || || 20160725 || [http://www.tenneseegasprices.com/Profile.aspx?member=SEBROCK SEBROCK] || || |- | || 20160731174838 || || Ads overlay banner menu and/or page content. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=650081 650081] || || 20160731 || [http://www.phillygasprices.com/Profile.aspx?member=rgpiccone rgpiccone] || || |- | || 20150528174234 || [http://www.indygasprics.com/profile.aspx?member=jt4703 jt4703] || PC monitor screen: Pages now too wide. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=612345 612345] || || 20150529 || [http://www.tampagasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=TxJeans TxJeans] || || |- | || 20150513122339 || [http://www.newyorkgasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=LarryMarg LarryMarg] || Thank You page: There's a newer price. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=611007 611007] || || 20150707 || [http://www.orangecounty.com/profile.aspx?member=Bytebug Bytebug] || || |- | || 20150513122339 || || Thank You page: There's a newer price. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=612646 612646] || || 20150701 || [http://www.losangelesgasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=Darrel+H.

A confirming row will only show: ## The same ''Bug ID'' and ''Bug Name'' in the expected columns, ## The additional topic's number in the ''Forum Topic'' column, ## The additional topic's OP date in the ''Confirm Date'' column. ## The additional topic's author in the ''Confirming Member'' column, ## Optional numbered table notes (seen below each table). ## Optional numbered list notes (seen at the bottom of this List). ===Legend=== 1. Table column usage: * ''?'' (Bug status) - This column will have a plus sign (+) when the bug is fixed or an x if it is concluded there is no bug (false alarm).<br> * ''Bug ID'' - The bug ID number is the posting date-time-group (adjusted to Eastern time zone) of the original post (OP) of the forum topic where the bug was first announced in order to assure a unique number. (Any GBO Help Center case posting time will likely be different.)<br> * ''Reporting Member'' - The nickname of the member first reporting the bug, except in additional rows, the nickname(s) of others who have reported it. * ''Bug Name'' - The bug name necessarily incorporates a brief description of the bug. See the forum topic OP and replies for details. * ''Forum Topic'' - A link to the topic where the bug was first announced. Multiple links will be listed as separate lines in the table having the same ID, but leaving other columns blank. * ''Case Number'' - The Zendesk-issued case number seen in the immediate auto-response E-mail when the Help Center is used to report the problem. The reporting member should post it the reporting topic so that it can be entered here. * ''Confirm Date'' - The date that another member confirmed the bug. * ''Confirming Member'' - The nickname of the first member to confirm the bug. * ''Fix Date'' - The date the bug has been discovered to be fixed or it has been concluded that there is no bug. Unless otherwise noted, all fixes are reported by a moderator in the topic where the bug was reported. * ''Notes'' - Optional numbered table notes. # Note usage: * Numbered table notes appearing in any table are displayed immediately below that table; they do not apply to any other table. * Numbered list notes appear at the bottom of the list and apply to the list as a whole. .<br><br> ==Full Site Bugs== {| class="wikitable" |- !? !Bug ID<ref>Adjusted to Easter time.</ref> !Reporting<br>Member !Bug Name !Forum<br>Topic !Case !Confirm<br>Date !Confirming<br>Member !Fix<br>Date !Note |- | + || 201611041601 || [http://www.sactogasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=CampKohler CampKohler] || Photo Albums: Pix count/max count wrong. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=659248 659248] || || || || || |- | + || 20160914175451 || [http://www.sactogasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=CampKohler CampKohler] || Member Points: Table/link collision on page. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=654051 654051] || 90583 || 20160915 || Ryan (GBO) || 20160915 || |- | + || 20160912192153 || [http://www.midlandodessagasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=gax gax] || Points History: Unreadable due to font colors used. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=653853 653853] || || 20160912 || [http://www.tampagasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=TxJeans TxJeans] || 20160915 || |- | + || 20160912192153 || || Points History: Unreadable due to font colors used. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=654039 654039] || || 20160914 || [http://www.sanjosegasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=dakirw dakirw] || 20160915 || |- | + || 20160912192153 || || Points History: Unreadable due to font colors used. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=654119 654119] || || 20160915 || [http://www.michigangasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=zcolt45 zcolt45] || 2-160915 || |- | || 2016082182816 || [http://www.sactogasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=CampKohler CampKohler] || Photo: Initial caption too short for final caption. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=652175 652175] || 80390 || || || || |- | || 20160731174838 || [http://www.sactogasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=CampKohler CampKohler] || Ads overlay banner menu and/or page content. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=650566 650566] || 76235 || || || || |- | || 20160731174838 || || Ads overlay banner menu and/or page content. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=650120 650120] || || 20160725 || [http://www.tenneseegasprices.com/Profile.aspx?member=SEBROCK SEBROCK] || || |- | || 20160731174838 || || Ads overlay banner menu and/or page content. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=650081 650081] || || 20160731 || [http://www.phillygasprices.com/Profile.aspx?member=rgpiccone rgpiccone] || || |- | || 20150528174234 || [http://www.indygasprics.com/profile.aspx?member=jt4703 jt4703] || PC monitor screen: Pages now too wide. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=612345 612345] || || 20150529 || [http://www.tampagasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=TxJeans TxJeans] || || |- | || 20150513122339 || [http://www.newyorkgasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=LarryMarg LarryMarg] || Thank You page: There's a newer price. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=611007 611007] || || 20150707 || [http://www.orangecounty.com/profile.aspx?member=Bytebug Bytebug] || || |- | || 20150513122339 || || Thank You page: There's a newer price. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=612646 612646] || || 20150701 || [http://www.losangelesgasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=Darrel+H.

If a new problem is suspected, it is recommended that the [https://help.gasbuddy.com/hc/en-us Help Center] and the forum Talk Back To Us category topics first be consulted, and, if warranted, the problem be posted in the forum and reported via the [https://help.gasbuddy.com/hc/en-us/requests/new GBO help Center request E-mail page].<br> This page is attached to the GB-Guides wiki, but is not listed as a guide.<br> Shortened URL for this list: '''tinyURL.com/gbobuglist'''<br><br> __TOC__ <br><br> ===Protocol=== # A new bug should cause a topic to be created in the forum, preferably in the Talk Back to Us category. # A new bug is entered into a new row of the appropriate the table below. # The new row includes a link to the topic number at then.gasbuddy.com for viewing only. (It is not possible to log into then.gasbuddy.com. If it is desirable to reply in the topic, please log into and access the topic from your state/province/metro-area site.) # If in the same topic a member confirms the bug, the confirmation is entered into the same row. Any second or greater report topic for a bug is deemed to be a confirming topic. # If in a different topic a member confirms the bug, the confirmation is entered into a separate new row created for the purpose. (This could result in there being many confirmation rows following the reporting row. The intent is to list all topics about the same bug to create a history.) A confirming row will only show: ## The same ''Bug ID'' and ''Bug Name'' in the expected columns, ## The additional topic's number in the ''Forum Topic'' column, ## The additional topic's OP date in the ''Confirm Date'' column. ## The additional topic's author in the ''Confirming Member'' column, ## Optional numbered table notes (seen below each table). ## Optional numbered list notes (seen at the bottom of this List). ===Legend=== 1. Table column usage: * ''?'' (Bug status) - This column will have a plus sign (+) when the bug is fixed or an x if it is concluded there is no bug (false alarm).<br> * ''Bug ID'' - The bug ID number is the posting date-time-group (adjusted to Eastern time zone) of the original post (OP) of the forum topic where the bug was first announced in order to assure a unique number. (Any GBO Help Center case posting time will likely be different.)<br> * ''Reporting Member'' - The nickname of the member first reporting the bug, except in additional rows, the nickname(s) of others who have reported it. * ''Bug Name'' - The bug name necessarily incorporates a brief description of the bug. See the forum topic OP and replies for details. * ''Forum Topic'' - A link to the topic where the bug was first announced. Multiple links will be listed as separate lines in the table having the same ID, but leaving other columns blank. * ''Case Number'' - The Zendesk-issued case number seen in the immediate auto-response E-mail when the Help Center is used to report the problem. The reporting member should post it the reporting topic so that it can be entered here. * ''Confirm Date'' - The date that another member confirmed the bug. * ''Confirming Member'' - The nickname of the first member to confirm the bug. * ''Fix Date'' - The date the bug has been discovered to be fixed or it has been concluded that there is no bug. Unless otherwise noted, all fixes are reported by a moderator in the topic where the bug was reported. * ''Notes'' - Optional numbered table notes. # Note usage: * Numbered table notes appearing in any table are displayed immediately below that table; they do not apply to any other table. * Numbered list notes appear at the bottom of the list and apply to the list as a whole. .<br><br> ==Full Site Bugs== {| class="wikitable" |- !? !Bug ID<ref>Adjusted to Eastern time.</ref> !Reporting<br>Member !Bug Name !Forum<br>Topic !Case !Confirm<br>Date !Confirming<br>Member !Fix<br>Date !Note |- | + || 20161104190231 || [http://www.sactogasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=CampKohler CampKohler] || Photo Albums: Pix count/max count wrong. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=659248 659248] || || 20161104 || TxJeans || || |- | + || 20160914175451 || [http://www.sactogasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=CampKohler CampKohler] || Member Points: Table/link collision on page. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=654051 654051] || 90583 || 20160915 || Ryan (GBO) || 20160915 || |- | + || 20160912192153 || [http://www.midlandodessagasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=gax gax] || Points History: Unreadable due to font colors used. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=653853 653853] || || 20160912 || [http://www.tampagasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=TxJeans TxJeans] || 20160915 || |- | + || 20160912192153 || || Points History: Unreadable due to font colors used. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=654039 654039] || || 20160915 || [http://www.sanjosegasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=dakirw dakirw] || 20160915 || |- | + || 20160912192153 || || Points History: Unreadable due to font colors used. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=654119 654119] || || 20160915 || [http://www.michigangasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=zcolt45 zcolt45] || 20160915 || |- | || 20160820152816 || [http://www.sactogasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=CampKohler CampKohler] || Photo: Initial caption too short for final caption. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=652175 652175] || 80390 || || || || |- | + || 20160731174838 || [http://www.sactogasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=CampKohler CampKohler] || Ads overlay banner menu and/or page content. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=650566 650566] || 76235 || || || ? || |- | + || 20160731174838 || || Ads overlay banner menu and/or page content. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=650120 650120] || || 20160725 || [http://www.tenneseegasprices.com/Profile.aspx?member=SEBROCK SEBROCK] || ? || |- | + || 20160731174838 || || Ads overlay banner menu and/or page content. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?category=1237&topic=650081 650081] || || 20160731 || [http://www.phillygasprices.com/Profile.aspx?member=rgpiccone rgpiccone] || ? || |- | || 20150528174234 || [http://www.indygasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=jt4703 jt4703] || PC monitor screen: Pages now too wide. || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=612345 612345] || || 20150529 || [http://www.tampagasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=TxJeans TxJeans] || || |- | || 20150513122339 || [http://www.newyorkgasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=LarryMarg LarryMarg] || Thank You page: "There's a newer price." || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=611007 611007] || || 20150707 || [http://www.orangecounty.com/profile.aspx?member=Bytebug Bytebug] || || |- | || 20150513122339 || || Thank You page: "There's a newer price." || [http://then.gasbuddy.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=612646 612646] || || 20150701 || [http://www.losangelesgasprices.com/profile.aspx?member=Darrel+H.

From time to time, members create umbrella topics that are intended to gather together many suggestions for some purpose stated by the author. This has associated with it some disadvantages for the suggesting authors who participate, but a simple method for overcoming them is given. ==The disadvantages of posting a suggestion in another’s topic== # Linkability - Any suggestion can necessarily only be posted in a reply to the OP (original post) Although it is known that there is a Message ID number associated with every reply, it is not known how to create a link to an individual reply when the number is known. The best that can be done is to say something like, “Re: JoeMember14's post of [date][time] in [link to topic].”<ref>The latter statement can be problematic when there are several posts in the same day by the same author. One must take into account that the times on messages appear to the readers of each time zone in the time of that zone. Thus one cannot simply say 2 PM, because when it is 2 PM in one zone, it will be 3 PM in another and so forth, so a specific zone must be referenced and it must be hoped that the reader will do the math. Of course, if there is only a single message in the topic by the specified author on the day in question, this is not a problem.</ref> # Indexability - A suggestion that is a reply in a topic does not appear on the index page for the category in which the topic exists. Thus readers looking for said topic cannot be aided in finding it by using the category index. # Searchability – A suggestion that is a reply in a topic is, for its author, just another of many replies in the forum that have been made over time. A author typically makes many more replies than he makes topics, so it follows that it is harder to find the suggestion by examining the results of a Show Topics I Participated In search than it is to find it by examining the results of a Show Topics That I Started search (both of which are found at the top of category index pages). # Continuity of Discussion – A suggestion that is worthy of it may generate several replies by members wishing to discuss a particular suggestion (but not other suggestions in the same topic). In such case, a member cannot simply state his position without saying which suggestion he is commenting on; he must reference the particular suggestion’s author, or if he has made more than one, also by the date and time of posting (see 1, above, for the time problem). ==The "tease and link" method for posting suggestions in aggregate topics== By simplifying the suggestion to a teaser within the umbrella topic, and then linking to an expanded suggestion in a separate topic to give suggestion details, the following advantages are obtained: # Any forum author at any place in the forum may link to the separate topic. # The separate topic will appear on the appropriate category index page. # The separate topic’s author may be searched by using the easier ''Search by Author'' method (found on the ''Message Forum Categories'' index page [but not the ''Forums'' index pages below it]). # Commenters in the separate topic need not make references to the suggestion, as all replies made will be applicable to the suggestion in the OP.

Thus it is not only a subset of all the stations in the state/province, it is a subset of all the stations in the metro-area. This is done for the purpose of having short search menus. This begs the question, which stations are to be included and which are not? ==Degradation of the Local Menu== There are two groups of stations that can appear on the local menu: major chains and independents (which includes small, local chains). The former, e.g. ARCO, Shell, Chevron, Texaco and so forth, will be relatively stable over long time periods, because unless a new chain enters the market, withdraws from the market or changes its name, they will rarely change, whereas the latter come and go relatively often. Realizing this, members must take it upon themselves to periodically review their own metro-area site menu (or those of other sites if they are knowledgeable about them) and recommend to GBO the changes necessary to update them. The longer the time between examinations, the more opportunity there is for the menu to become degraded. The menu should be analyzed to update major chains by: 1) Adding chains that have established a new presence in the metro-area, possibly with only a single station. 2) Deleting chains that have lost all presence in the metro-area. The menu should be analyzed to update independent stations by: 1) Adding new stations that maintain low prices. 2) Revising existing stations that have changed their names. 3) Deleting stations that have closed. 4) Adding stations that have multiple local locations (which increases their importance to local users). 5) Adding existing stations that maintain low prices as compared to others. 6) If necessary, deleting stations that do not maintain low prices (which decreases their importance to local users). ==Updating the Local Menu== Once you have determined what must be done to update the menu, send a [https://help.gasbuddy.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Help Center request] written in such a manner that it will be obvious that you have done your homework and that your work is reliable.

For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (or doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between: * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. The author places an anchor on the page where desired. * Target - The place&mdash;Website, page or place on a page&mdash;where a link leads to. This is the URL typically copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be usable because the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==Use of Reserved Characters in URLs== Certain characters, called ''reserved characters'', are not allowed in URLs by the rules of the Internet. They are: {| cellpadding="6px" border=1 style="border:1px solid #C0C0C0; border-collapse:collapse; background-color:white;" |+RFC 3986 section 2.2 ''Reserved Characters'' (January 2005) |- | <code>[[exclamation mark|!]]</code> || <code>[[asterisk|<nowiki>*</nowiki>]]</code> || <code>[[apostrophe (mark)|']]</code> || <code>[[Parentheses|(]]</code> || <code>[[Parentheses|)]]</code> || <code>[[semicolon|;]]</code> || <code>[[colon (punctuation)|:]]</code> || <code>[[At sign|@]]</code> || <code>[[ampersand|&]]</code> || <code>[[equal sign|=]]</code> || <code>[[plus sign|+]]</code> || <code>[[dollar sign|$]]</code> || <code>[[comma (punctuation)|,]]</code> || <code>[[slash (punctuation)|/]]</code> || <code>[[question mark|?]]</code> || <code>[[number sign|#]]</code> || <code>[[bracket|[]]</code> || <code>[[bracket|<nowiki>]</nowiki>]]</code> |} Nevertheless, GBO will tolerate most of these characters in a URL and will form a link which contains them when a message is posted. There are three exceptions as used in these examples for a fictitious URL, <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aaXaa.html</nowiki>, where X is the reserved character: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Char !! URL in Link Tag/Insert Link (Input) !! Finished Link (Output) !! Result |- | <span style="color: #888888">''12''</span> || ' || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa'aa.html</nowiki> || || No link is formed. |- | <span style="color: #888888">''13''</span> || [ || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa[aa.html</nowiki> || <nowiki>[L=http://somesite.com/aa[aa.html][[/L]</nowiki> || Link is malformed. |- | <span style="color: #888888">''14''</span> || ] || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa]aa.html</nowiki> || <nowiki>aa.html]]</nowiki> || Link is malformed. |} To sum up, these characters must not be used directly in a GBO forum link target URL even if they work on the Internet in spite of breaking the rules. An actual example of such a rule-breaker that works is: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor's_Mansion_State_Historic_Park https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor's_Mansion_State_Historic_Park]. Yet, due to the apostrophe, this URL will not form a link in the forum. However, there is a workaround for any link containing one or more of the three troublesome characters, namely, using a URL-shortening service (explained below) to avoid their direct use. (In the case of the Park example, it has been shortened to <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/nadgen6</nowiki>, which, of course, will form a link in the forum.) <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 19:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 20:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 21:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against linking to URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''22''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''23''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''24''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might not mean anything to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered in one of them. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: 1) title, 2) warning, 3) conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 28:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, it follows that anonymization can be disabled by breaking one or more of them. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 29:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. being the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 30:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before posting the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most Websites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly either way. However, some Websites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a Website that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the operators to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test the address first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20161105 2:18 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20151105 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 693b220d05848a8e6a04393fa42bf5659f0d4445 320 319 2016-11-05T21:21:39Z CampKohler 3383757 Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki =Links Guide= How to make and use links in the GasBuddy Organization (GBO) message forum. __TOC__ [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index]] <br><br> ====<u>Tutorial philosophy</u>==== Some have remarked that this tutorial is too technical. For those who wish simplicity, let us boil this entire page down to "Fill out the ''Insert Link'' form." As usual, when things are maximally simplified, problems arise, because you don't really know what is going on "behind the curtain." When there is only one button to be pushed, if things don't go as planned when you push it, you have a choice: give up or engage in a long voyage of exploration to learn how it all works (or doesn't). The voyage has been taken for you and this page is the result. Read it, and, while you may not remember it all, perhaps some of it will resonate when things don't go as expected. ====<u>Legend:</u>==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices. The arrow at the beginning of each note is a backlink to the point where the note originated.</li> # System parts (functions, forms, buttons, etc.) are shown in ''italics''. # System input that must be entered by the user and output that the system displays is shown in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>monospace type with a light gray background</code></span>. # For reference purposes, examples of links are numbered in <span style="color: #888888">''grayed-out italics''</span>; they are intentionally non-functional. <br> ==About links in general== ====<u>Use</u>==== Links are clickable Webpage elements which allow the author to offer the reader the choice to move around between: * Portions of a page ("section links"). For GBO pages, this is a suspected, but not known option.<ref>GBO does not appear to support section links, which, in the forum would mean links to specific reply messages; only an entire topic has visible identifying number&mdash;the topic ID&mdash;so that linking to the topic as a whole is apparently the author's only option. Because individual replies have seen to be manipulated by moderators, it is suspected that replies do have individual identifying numbers, and therefore it is logical to assume that section links could be constructed, but the details are unknown at this time.</ref> * Pages of a Website * Websites * Some combination of the above. ====<u>Terminology</u>==== * Anchor - The place where a link is clicked. The author places an anchor on the page where desired. * Target - The place&mdash;Website, page or place on a page&mdash;where a link leads to. This is the URL typically copied from some page the author wishes the reader to visit. * Back link - A link at the target that will return the reader back to the anchor from whence he started. GBO does not provide back links, depending instead upon the reader to manually return to the anchor page.<ref>An author may create in effect his own backlink by providing an ordinary link at the target back to the anchor page, but the target will become a page on a new browser tab instead of the old page on the old tab, so this has to be evaluated to see if it achieves the desired effect.</ref> ====<u>Appearance</u>==== Links should have, are not required to have, but almost always do have, a special appearance so that the reader will know they are links. Typically, links are underlined and appear in blue, a practice always followed on GBO pages.<ref>Some Websites dispense with the underlining for the sake of a less-cluttered appearance, but that inconsistency with the rest of the Internet can be confusing. GBO always underlines. On some Websites, links may change color to indicate that the reader has at some point during the current viewing session visited the link, but GBO does not do this; you can click a link several times and it does not change appearance. Thus GBO links will always be blue and underlined.</ref> ====<u>Construction</u>==== Links are formed by enclosing segments of code&mdash;which make the links work&mdash;within delimiting characters, this assemblage being called an element. The codes used therein and the characters used for delimiters depend upon the venue where they are used: * Webpages - Uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that are delimited by angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>). HTML tags don't work on GBO pages (see Appendix 1, below for an explanation). * Other wikis and forums - Standard ones may use Universal Bulletin Board Code markup (UBBC), delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). These are ignored on GBO pages. * GBO forum - The forum uses a custom tag, delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). This is the subject of this wiki, because the first two, above, are useless for forming links on GBO pages. <br> ==Link use limited to Senior Members== You must be a Senior Member&mdash;have earned 10,000 points&mdash;in order to post a link in a forum message; those with fewer points will have all links, regardless of how they are created, stripped from messages when they are posted. Note that until they achieve senior status, anyone can post a URL in a message; it just won't be a clickable link. <blockquote>''Fine Technical Point:'' This scenario demonstrates the need to be a Senior Member: # The author, a Sr. Member, logs in. # The author prepares a message containing a link. # The author opens a second instance of GasBuddy in another tab of the same browser (in which he will be continued to be logged in<ref>A logged-in status of a GBO member is achieved by the system writing a cookie to the member's browser. Because all tabs have access to the same cookie, all tabs are logged in or logged out at the same time, that is to say, one cannot be logged in within one tab and be logged out on another.</ref>). # The author logs out of the second instance. # The author posts the message in the first instance. # The system displays the message, but the link will not present, because, the author logged out and the system, no longer able to recognize his senior status, deleted the link.</blockquote> <br> ==A custom link tag for the forum== A link tag is the only custom GBO tag known. It is case-insensitive and may be placed anywhere in a forum message. A delimiter is a character marking the start and finish of a tag. The link tag is delimited by square brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>]</code></span>). It takes this form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=someURL]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=</code></span> is the first half of the opening tag,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL]</code></span> is the second half of the opening tag, containing the Web address of the link target,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>somelinktext</span> is the text the reader will see as the link, and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code></code>[/L]</span> is the closing tag. There are two kinds of links: external and internal. The system knows the difference and treats them differently in order to improve the readers' experience, and this, too, will be explained in detail. <br><br> ==The rules for link text in the forum== Link text is the underlined word(s) that user will see in a forum message to indicate the presence of a link and it is what is clicked to activate a link. In venues other than the forum, if no link text is furnished, it is assumed that the URL itself is to be displayed as the link text, but not at GBO. Here are the rules: # If visible link text is furnished, a link will be formed and the text will be displayed as one would expect. # If no link text is furnished, no link is formed, and the characters of the link, tags and all, will be displayed in the message, forming sort of a poor-man's error message. # If invisible link text is furnished, it is uncertain if a link will be formed, but in any case, the link will not be usable because the reader will see no place to click. The rules are illustrated by these examples: <!--A table of different minimalistic links for illustration of link text behavior--> {| class="wikitable" |- !style="color: #888888"|''Ex.''||style="width: 170px"|This link when posted!!style="width: 110px"|appears as this, but!!style="width: 60px"|will it form a link?!!style="width: 35px; text-align: center"|Does link work?!!style="width: 90px"|Rules followed? |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''2''||[L=someURL]sometext[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|<u>sometext</u>||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="width: 30px" |Yes |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''3''||[L=someURL][/L]||[L=someURL][/L]||style="text-align: center"|No||style="text-align: center"|No||No link text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''4''||[L=someURL] [/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''5''||[L=someURL]&nb&zwnj;sp;[/L]|| ||style="text-align: center"|Can't tell||style="text-align: center"|No||No visible text |- |style="color: #888888; text-align: center"|''6''||[L=someURL]_[/L]||style="color: #0000ff"|_||style="text-align: center"|Yes||style="text-align: center"|Yes||Cute, but yes |} After a message is posted, if the link tags are visible as in Example 3, you know to edit the message and type in some link text so that it will look like Example 2. <br><br> ==External links== An external link is one to a non-GBO resource, that is to, say, a Website outside the GBO system. The link is formatted as follows: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 7:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL</nowiki>]somelinktext[/L]</code></span>, where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>http://<code></span> is the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>someURL</code></span> is the Web address of the destination page, called the ''target'' and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as the link. If the following real link is posted in a forum message,<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 8:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/fs-links</nowiki>]A guide for links[/L]</code></span>, it would link to the page you are now reading and appear in the message as:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 9:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;">;<u><code>A guide for links.</code></u></span><br> <br> ==Internal links== An internal link is one to a GBO site page. An internal link is formatted differently than the external link shown in Examples 7 - 9. The protocol and domain name are omitted, leaving only the page and link text: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 10:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=somepage]somelinktext[/L]</code></span> where, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is all of the target page's Web address that normally follows the domain name, namely, the page name and coding parameters used by that page (if any) and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is the underlined text that the reader will see as a link. The following actual link example, when inserted in a forum message, would link to a moderator's topic through whichever site the reader was currently using (this "site anonymization" is further explained in Appendix 3): <span style="color: #888888">''Example 11:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[<nowiki>http://www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=200714&page_no=1&FAV=N</nowiki>]</code></span> The URL of Example 11 was copied from a browser address bar after accessing a GBO site. For the curious, more information about how a typical GBO URL is constructed is available in Appendix 3.<br><br> ==Methods of entering a link in a message== *Manual entry - The author types the complete link into a message where desired. The author of a manually-entered link is responsible for some not-too-obvious technical ramifications which will be explained below, or, *Insert Link feature - The system provides a form to guide the author. It has desirable automatic features that relieves the author of certain technical responsibilities and is explained below under ''Insert Link feature''. <br> ==Use of Reserved Characters in URLs== Certain characters, called ''reserved characters'', are not allowed in URLs by the rules of the Internet. They are: {| cellpadding="6px" border=1 style="border:1px solid #C0C0C0; border-collapse:collapse; background-color:white;" |+RFC 3986 section 2.2 ''Reserved Characters'' (January 2005) |- | <code>[[exclamation mark|!]]</code> || <code>[[asterisk|<nowiki>*</nowiki>]]</code> || <code>[[apostrophe (mark)|']]</code> || <code>[[Parentheses|(]]</code> || <code>[[Parentheses|)]]</code> || <code>[[semicolon|;]]</code> || <code>[[colon (punctuation)|:]]</code> || <code>[[At sign|@]]</code> || <code>[[ampersand|&]]</code> || <code>[[equal sign|=]]</code> || <code>[[plus sign|+]]</code> || <code>[[dollar sign|$]]</code> || <code>[[comma (punctuation)|,]]</code> || <code>[[slash (punctuation)|/]]</code> || <code>[[question mark|?]]</code> || <code>[[number sign|#]]</code> || <code>[[bracket|[]]</code> || <code>[[bracket|<nowiki>]</nowiki>]]</code> |} Nevertheless, GBO will tolerate most of these characters in a URL and will form a link which contains them when a message is posted. There are three exceptions as used in these examples for a fictitious URL, <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aaXaa.html</nowiki>, where X is the reserved character: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Char !! URL in Link Tag/Insert Link (Input) !! Finished Link (Output) !! Result |- | <span style="color: #888888">''12''</span> || ' || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa'aa.html</nowiki> || || No link is formed. |- | <span style="color: #888888">''13''</span> || [ || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa[aa.html</nowiki> || <nowiki>[L=http://somesite.com/aa[aa.html][[/L]</nowiki> || Link is malformed. |- | <span style="color: #888888">''14''</span> || ] || <nowiki>http://somesite.com/aa]aa.html</nowiki> || <nowiki>aa.html]]</nowiki> || Link is malformed. |} To sum up, these characters must not be used directly in a GBO forum link target URL even if they work on the Internet in spite of breaking the rules. An actual example of such a rule-breaker that works is: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor's_Mansion_State_Historic_Park https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor's_Mansion_State_Historic_Park]. Yet, due to the apostrophe, this URL will not form a link in the forum. However, there is a workaround for any link containing one or more of the three troublesome characters, namely, using a URL-shortening service (explained below) to avoid their direct use. (In the case of the Park example, it has been shortened to <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/nadgen6</nowiki>, which, of course, will form a link in the forum.) <br> ==System link length limits== Depending on several factors, the link has a maximum size for both URL and link text fields and also the two combined (see Appendix 2, below, for details). This presents a big problem to users who have no knowledge of the limit. If the maximum is exceeded, the system will delete some portion of the link and one or more <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> phrases will be inserted, which is the only warning the author gets. Unfortunately, this occurs only after the message is posted, that is to say, when it is nearly too late to do anything about it. So the author has only five minutes&mdash;the current edit window length&emdash;to deal with the size problem, which may enough time, especially if the author is inexperienced. Thus it behooves the author to test a suspiciously-too-long link first before using it. To test a link in the forum, # Open a new topic in the ''Just For Fun'' Category. # To prevent reader confusion, label the topic, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Test (Do not read)</code></span> # Enter the proposed link in the message, either manually or by use of the ''Insert Link'' feature. # Post the message. # Inspect the result as it appears in the posted message. # Use the link to ensure that it performs as desired. If the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted<code></span> appears in the link, the link is too long and the author must employ a workaround to shorten the link. <br><br> ==Workarounds for too-long links== If the system rejects a long link by inserting the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>text deleted</code></span> in the link, there are ways to deal with it: * Shorten the link text - The total link length is a factor, so for every character less that is used in the link text, you may either increase the length allowed in the URL field by one or shorten the entire link as a whole. * Shorten the URL - This will shorten the link as a whole. ===<u>Methods of shortening the link text</u>=== To show how you can shorten a too-long link, let's begin with one that we know will fail: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 15:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/apagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]Click here to see fantastical unicorns.[/L]</code></span> If this had worked as the author had wished, the reader would see: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 16:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff"><code><u>Click to see fantastical unicorns.</u></code>.</span> However, the long link text used in Example 7 means that the length of the finished link would be greater than the maximum permitted, perhaps yielding this mangled link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 17:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://www.unicorns.org/text deleted to see fantastical unicorns</nowiki>[/L]</code></span> which fails due to the replacement of some of the URL by the phrase <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0"><code>text deleted</code></span>, not to mention a missing square bracket. Here is the same link code after it has had the link text reduced in length by the simple expedient of shifting some of the verbiage from the link text to text surrounding the link: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 18:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click [L=<nowiki>http://unicorns.org/alongpagenamethatistoolongforgasbuddytohandlewithalinktext.html</nowiki>]here[/L] to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span> This rearranged version would appear to the reader as, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 19:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Click <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u>here</u></span> to see fantastical unicorns.</code></span>. The shortened link text has thus brought the link in under the size limit and it should no longer be rejected by the system. <br> ===<u>Methods for shortening the URL</u>=== You can't very well cut out part of an URL and expect the link to work<ref>Exception: The sub-domain name WWW may usually be omitted, because sites are typically configured so that the same Web site is reached with or without it. Rarely, a misconfigured site may be encountered that, say, works properly with WWW, but fails without it. Prior to using a non-GBO URL in a link, testing will reveal if this is so. Or go ahead and post the link, in which case you have five minutes to fix it if it doesn't work.</ref> However, free services exist that will furnish you with a short code that may be substituted for the URL. This is how the process works: # Pick a service: tinyurl.com, bitly.com (associated alternates are: bit.ly, j.mp, urls.im, goog.gl # Go to the service Website. # Furnish the long URL to be shortened:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 20:''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.foundingfathers.com/georgewashingtonandthomasjeffersonwereconsumategentalmenandreallyfinefellowsnottomentionveryfamous.html</code></span> # A shorter, coded URL is returned by the service:<br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 21:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>www.tinyurl.com/xb2lsQ</code></span> # Write down the short URL. # Test the URL to make sure it works, either by the method shown above in ''System Link Length Limits'', or by using a test feature on the service's site. # If tested good, use the short URL in a link. # Post the message. # When a reader clicks the link, the user is sent to the service's site which substitutes the original, longer URL for the target. The shortened URL is designed to be unchangeable&mdash;it cannot be edited&mdash;and is as permanent as the service which provides it. Some services have terms of service (TOS) forbidding uses of shortened URLs that most users would regard as objectionable. An example is tiny.cc's TOS: <nowiki>http://tiny.cc/terms</nowiki>. It is up to the link author to read the TOS and choose the service that best suits the needs of the readers. If you intend to use a short URL often in the future, either record it somewhere safe<ref>Some services, e.g. bitly, allow you to register and, having done so, provide a personal file for recording all short URLs created for you by the service.</ref> or use a custom version&mdash;called an alias<ref>An alias is a code that you select (vs. one that is furnished by the service). You may choose any verbiage that has not been issued previously. Thus once an alias is issued, no one else can request it as an alias. For one-off use, it is recommended that you use the ordinary gobbledegook code furnished by the service and don't seek an alias, which would reduce the supply of good alias names available.</ref> Some reliable URL-shortening sites are (these are not links due to Shoutwiki policy against linking to URL shortening services): {| |- | [[file:links~tinyurl-logo.png]] || [[file:links~bitly-logo.png]] || [[file:links~google-logo.png]] |- | style="text-align: center"| www.tinyurl.com || style="text-align: center" | www.bitly.com || style="text-align: center" | www.goo.gl |} <br> ===<u>Previewing a shortened URL</u>=== Some readers may avoid clicking shortened URLs, because they can't tell where the shortened URL will lead; they fear that the true target might be some objectionable Web page. This fear can be assuaged by giving the reader a preview: before proceeding to the target, the shortening service exposes the target URL and asks the user if he wishes to proceed. This preview feature removes doubt at the expense of an additional mouse click (which could annoy some users). The preview feature is obtained by using a slightly-altered shortened URL. The alteration is different for each service as shown by the examples in this table: {| class="wikitable" |- ! <span style="color: #888888">''Ex.''</span> !! Service !! Alteration Method !! A direct URL || A previewing URL |- | <span style="color: #888888">''22''</span> || Bitly || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://bit.ly/1Bonows+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''23''</span> || Google || Append: "+" || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://goo.gl/RT9hAK+</nowiki> |- | <span style="color: #888888">''24''</span> || Tinyurl || Prepend: "preview." || <nowiki>http://tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> || <nowiki>http://preview.tinyurl.com/m455kl9</nowiki> |} An alternative method is to provide two links; one, a direct link to the target (no preview), and the other, a preview link. The reader can then choose as he sees fit. Here is an example of both kinds of links being provided: As written in a message by the author: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-written.png]] As published and viewed by the reader: [[file:links~previewed-url_as-published.png]] Note that, as published, except for the link text, there is no visible difference between the two kinds of URL until the reader mouses over the previewed link and sees the altered URL in his browser. In the case of the tinyurl.com previewed link, the prefix, "preview." becomes visible, but that might not mean anything to the unenlightened reader. Thus it is vital that the author explain the differences between the two in the link text as has been done in the examples shown. In other words, it would be poor practice to give both kinds of link with no further explanation in the link text, because the fear-filled reader may not recognize that a preview is being offered in one of them. ==Nested links not allowed== A link may not be embedded in the link text of another link, else a failure occurs. A working link would be formed from the first (inner) URL, but the second (outer) link given in the URL field will be inoperative. <br><br> ==The ''Insert Link'' feature== This feature has a behavior that is not intuitive in many respects, so it will be explained in great detail. [[file:links~insert-link-button.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' button is located to the left of the forum message dialog box.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br> When a logged-in Senior Member is composing a forum message, there will be an ''Insert Link'' button appearing to the left of the message dialog box. When the button is clicked, a form is furnished to aid the author in preparing the link. It overlays the present dialog box, which remains active beneath the form.<ref>While the form top is labeled ''Enter Link'', we will always refer to it as ''Insert Link'' in order to use a consistent name throughout this guide.</ref> [[File:links~insert-link-form.png|right|The ''Insert Link'' form in all its glory.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> The form has two fields for entering the link data and an ''OK'' button to signal that the data is complete, but be aware of how the button works!<br><br><br> <!--The button warning in a 3-cell table: 1) title, 2) warning, 3) conclusion--> {| class="wikitable" cellpadding="20" width="50%" style="border: 1px solid black;" |- !THE "BUTTON WARNING" - Ignore it at your peril |- |<br>The ''Insert Link'' form's ''OK'' button is intended to close the completed form, process the link, paste the link in the message, and return you to the message dialog box to allow the message to be completed and posted. You must keep uppermost in mind that the ''OK'' button is not the default when the form is in view; instead, the underlying ''Post Message'' button of the message dialog box is the default. Therefore, when working with the form, should you press <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span>, the following inconvenient unintended consequences will result: * The ''Insert Link'' form will close and the information in it will be lost. * The unfinished message will be posted as is. As a result, you will have only five minutes to recover as follows: # Start an edit of the message # Open the ''Insert Link'' form # Complete the form # Click ''OK'' to create the link # Correctly position the resulting link in the message # Complete the message # Click ''Post Message'' to post the message # Review the posted message # Re-edit to make any needed corrections by clicking ''Edit'' # Click ''Post Message'' one final time to post the message <br> |- !The lesson to be learned here is DON'T USE THE <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Enter]</code></span> KEY when finished with the ''Insert Link'' form! Instead click the form's ''OK'' button. |} <br> ===<u>''Insert Link'' autopopulates the URL field with a protocol indicator (a problem for external links only)</u>=== When the ''Insert Link'' form opens, by default, the URL field is populated with the protocol indicator for the World Wide Web, namely <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>. When a URL is typed into the remainder of the field following the indicator, having the indicator already there should be no real problem, because you can see that the indicator is already present and simply not re-type it. However, if a URL is copied from a page onto the Windows clipboard and then the clipboard is pasted into the field, the copied page's indicator&mdash;a second indicator&mdash;comes along with it. This results in two indicators as seen here: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 24:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://http://someURL</nowiki></code></span>. [[File:links~ext-link_form-with-url-pasted.png|left|A copied external link will bring its own indicator along.]] [[File:links~ext-link_dialog-box-after-form.png|right|The resulting double indicator if you aren't careful.]]<br> <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding images.--> An external link will fail if left in this condition, so, if cutting and pasting (vs. typing) the URL, make sure you delete the second indicator. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ===<u>''Insert Link's'' site anonymization process (applicable to internal links only)</u>=== This automatic process is the most important benefit of using the ''Insert Link'' form. When forming the link, the GBO site specified in the link is not used; rather, when the form is submitted, any internal link will be detected and made into a generic link to the same page on the reader's current site. The benefit is that if the reader is logged-in when such a link is clicked, after reaching the target page, he will continue to be logged in because he is still at the site where he used the link. Therefore he will be able to use any function to which he is entitled by virtue of his membership. ====<u>What triggers site anonymization</u>==== # The author must use the ''Insert Link'' feature. # The ''Link'' field must contain a properly-formatted and known GBO domain name e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.friscogasprices.com</nowiki></code></span> # The ''Link'' field must also contain a page name, either real, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>Forum_Category.aspx</code></span> or dummy, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somedummypage</code></span> page # The ''Link Text'' field must contain at least one character, that is, it must not be blank.<ref>For the purposes of this rule, an invisible HTML entity that does not move the cursor, e.g. the zero-width non-joiner (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&zw&zwnj;nj;</code></span>), would not qualify. Either a typed space or an entity would move the cursor, so would follow this rule and allow anonymization to occur.</ref> If the above conditions are met, then system will construct a site-anonymous link as follows: # The protocol indicator, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span> is deleted, # The site domain name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somegasprices.com</code></span> is deleted, # The page name, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somepage</code></span> is left untouched, # The link text, <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somelinktext</code></span> is left untouched, and the link target will be the specified page on whichever site the reader clicked the link. For example, with the following URL entered into the ''Link'' field: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 25:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>www.sactogasprices.com/Forum_Topics.aspx</code></span>, and the following text entered into the ''Link Text'' field, <span style="color: #888888">''Example 26:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>the forum category index page</code></span>, when the ''OK'' button is clicked, this resulting link is placed in the message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 27:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=Forum_Topics.aspx]the forum category index page[/L]</code></span>, which, when posted, appears to the reader as: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 28:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code><u>the forum category index page</u></code></span>. With no domain name specified, the reader will see the specified page on the site he is currently using. ====<u>Avoiding site anonymization</u>==== If the above rules enable anonymization, it follows that anonymization can be disabled by breaking one or more of them. Thus if an author desires to link the reader to some site which the reader is not currently viewing, he can break the first rule to disable anonymization&mdash;he can type the link manually into the message instead of using the form: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 29:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://buffalogasprices.com/Prize_Give_Away.aspx</nowiki>]prize info[/L]</code></span>, which will be posted unchanged exactly as typed, delivering the reader to the desired target site and page. If the reader wishes to use a system function that requires him to be logged in, then he must log in to the target site after arriving. <br><br> ===<u>Where ''Insert Link'' places completed links</u>=== [[File:links~default-link-positioning.png|right|Default position of a ''Insert Link'' form-created link.]] <!--This paragraph is pushed down with breaks to align it with the center of the preceding image.--> <br><br><br><br><br><br> Links which are created while the message is being composed will be placed as the writer intends. This happens when the text cursor is at the end of the written text. However, links created after the text has been finished will be placed in a block at the end of the message regardless of where the text cursor is, and so they may or may not be where the author intends. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Let's say a block of links is created at the end of the text, but the author wants them distributed throughout the message. In that case the author must manually move them to where they belong within the text. Here is a method to do this: # Use the mouse to highlight a link which needs to be repositioned. # Copy the link to the Windows clipboard by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-X]</code></span> (which also deletes it from its position at the end of the text). # Position the text cursor by clicking the mouse in the message where the link is to be placed.</li> # Paste the link from the clipboard to the message by typing <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[Ctrl-V]</code></span>. # Examine the inserted link to make sure the link text reads properly (and edit it manually if necessary)</li> # Repeat until all links are correctly positioned within the text <br> -- End -- <br> ---- ---- <br> ==Appendices== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Why HTML doesn't work on GBO Websites=== HTML tags of any kind normally used on Web pages are blocked in the forum. When a message is posted, the forum software automatically converts any angle brackets (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>></code></span>) into the HTML entities <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&lt;</code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>&gt;</code></span>, respectively. An entity is a code appearing in text that will cause a browser to draw a specific character vs. being the actual characters themselves. In this case, when displayed, entities appear to the eye of the reader to be angle brackets, but they are not the angle brackets themselves. For HTML tags to work, the actual angle brackets are required, and any codes substituted for them won't do. Thus the substitution of entities for characters neutralizes the tags, so no HTML can function in the forum. (GBO also uses the same technique to prevent HTML from working in PMs and whiteboards.) ===Appendix 2 - ''Insert Link'' feature maximum field sizes allowed=== The maximum size of a link's URL, including the protocol indicator (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://</nowiki></code></span>) is dependent on several factors that are difficult to determine by experimentation. The following is known: * The limit is affected by a combination of the URL length and the link text length. * A combined limit of 97 characters exists if both the URL length and the link text length are both less than 85 characters each. * A combined limit of 84 characters exists if either the URL length or the link text length are more than 84 characters long. * The length of the URL is seemingly unlimited if broken up by certain characters, e.g. forward slashes. (This is currently being researched.) If the limit is exceeded, some portion of the URL and link text will be discarded and the following magically-mangled markup mess will be materialize in the finished message: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 30:''</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>[L=<nowiki>http://someURL/text deleted</nowiki>/L]</code></span> Notice that two of the square brackets normally present in the GBO custom tag have been deleted. This is overkill, because the formation of a useable link has already be prevented. Upon posting, if your link looks like the above, you have no choice but to edit the message within the five-minute editing window and substitute fewer characters to obtain an acceptable-length link. It is easier to be aware of the limit, use testing to see if it will be violated and take corrective measures before posting the final message. ===Appendix 3 - GBO URL structure=== Typically, in GBO forum URLs, all material to the right of the topic number is used for GBO housekeeping and reader navigation and may be deleted without detriment when used in links; the topic parameter alone will get to the topic. ''FYI:'' Regardless of which parameters they are, it is the nature of the .ASPX language that the first parameter in a URL must be preceded by a question mark (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>?</code></span>) and all following parameters must be preceded by an ampersand (<span style="background-color: #e0e0e0; color: #0000ff;"><code>&</code></span>). Keep this in mind if you shorten a URL by deleting one or more parameters. But, as a rule, all GBO URLs of any length generated by the system should be accepted and not require shortening. Some GBO URLs are known to require the presence of more than one parameter&mdash;some photo album URLs for example&mdash;so if you choose to prune GBO URLs, testing may be in order to make sure they still work properly. ===Appendix 4 - Do you need WWW in a URL?=== WWW is the subdomain name for the World Wide Web. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://www.somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> and <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>http://somesite.com</nowiki></code></span> are two different addresses. Most Websites are configured to treat these exactly the same and so an address will function properly either way. However, some Websites will intentionally have separate uses for addresses with and without WWW, in which case whether or not WWW is present in the address matters. Rarely, a Website that has no reason to require WWW is simply misconfigured and so fails to work. In that case, you must include it (unless you can convince the operators to correct the error and then wait for the correction to filter through the Internet). To sum up, be sure to test the address first if you intend to omit the subdomain name to shorten a URL. {{reflist}} ==Notes== <references /> ''Version:'' 20161105 2:18 PM PDT --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20161105 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Links.--><br> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_links_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> 0a83e560bc1a65a103bf390ec5019a663ce12633 0 16 321 274 2016-11-05T21:47:20Z CampKohler 3383757 Cleanup wikitext text/x-wiki <!-- STL logo --> {| style="background-color: yellow" cellpadding="20" |- !REPORTING NON-STANDARD FUELS |} =<font face="Book Antiqua">Reporting Non-Standard Fuels</font>= Methods for reporting and searching prices for non-standard fuels outside normal GasBuddy Organization means.<br> __TOC__ ====Legend:==== # Numbered notes are shown at the bottom of this page, below the Appendices.

These members may wish to undertake the task of doing the reporting and maintaining the price lists. While not as convenient as having the mechanism built into the GBO system, it can be done, and, if there is sufficient activity, perhaps GBO will someday incorporate those fuels into the system. Some examples of useful non-standard fuels are: * Biodiesel * Marine fuels * Aviation gasoline * Off-road fuels (non-taxed fuels) * Alcohol-free gasoline * Heating oil * Propane * Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) * Kerosine * Kickapoo Joy Juice <br> ==Reporting coverage areas== * State sites - State site coverage areas are most likely too large to conveniently serve local areas and would need to be broken into smaller areas of a more useful size. Members would form groups by area and decide the boundaries of their reporting coverage. The bigger the state, the more groups would likely be needed to service widely-spread areas. It would be confusing to combine widely-separated areas into one report. * Metro-area sites - The members of a metro-area would likely use the existing boundaries of their site's coverage area, but outlying groups could form their own areas if desired. * Division of areas - For convenience, members may decide to divide their area to group prices in lists. The method of division could be similar to that used by metro-areas, namely, quadrants, ZIP codes, traditional neighborhood names, and the like. Such divisions of a single coverage area should be applied to the price list, which would remain in a single topic. <br> ==Venues of reporting== This guide covers these possibilities: * GBO Forum - Use a topic to post individual price reports and comprehensive price lists. * Wiki - Use a wiki site to publish price lists and link to it from a forum topic. * E-mail - Use an E-mail account to receive price reports and send a price list to all participants on a regular basis, advertising the service in a forum topic. <br> ==Obtaining member participation== Initially, you may wish to PM or whiteboard members who report prices in the given area and ask for their participation in the reporting effort for the given fuel. Additionally, you may ask them if they know of anyone else who would be willing to participate, either as a reporter or user. Efforts to obtain participation could even extend to outside the GBO community, thus adding new members. You may wish to invite the use of the forum topic, for a given fuel and reporting area, for discussions about the reporting methods used or how they can be improved. However, discussions about the fuels themselves should probably be directed to the national forum topics, because that's where the major audience would exist for those discussions. <br><br> ==Using the GBO forum for publishing prices== To use the forum method, a topic is established in the forum for a given fuel. Reporting members then post formatted price reports in replies. These reports would then be integrated into price lists. Aged reports would be marked for later deletion or removed from the list. All of these tasks can be done by members according to their skills and/or desires. No font modification (sizes, bold, italics, etc.) is known to be possible in the forum. Local prices would be of interest only to local members, so topics should be created in local discussion categories, and not in national categories. <br><br> ===<u>Scope of tasks in forum reporting</u>=== The ultimate product of reporting is the formatted price list. Members would define the format most useful for their area. A state-wide format could be defined, or different formats for each area (topic) could be defined. Depending on their skills and interests, members would participate on varying levels: * Input-only reporting - Members post replies with price(s) in a set format, leaving integration into price lists to others. * Integrated reporting - Members copy the latest price list, edit in their own report, and then post the list. * List maintenance - Members copy the latest list, edit in all new reports, cull aged-out reports and then post the list. <br> ===<u>Beginning the topic</u>=== Every forum topic begins with the so-called original post (OP). The wording of the OP's text and title should be well thought out, because, while you can always post new replies, the OP is forever.<ref>The only remedy for a botched OP that you can undertake yourself is to announce in the topic's final reply that the existing topic is closed and that operations are being transferred to a new topic (with a better-written OP) as a replacement. If that is to be done, post the new topic first in order to get a URL to be used to build a link that will be placed the last reply of the old topic before you let it fade away. Alternatively, you can send a Personal Message (PM) to a forum moderator and ask that the old topic be deleted. Such requests are often fulfilled.</ref> The OP should be worded sparingly to prevent it from becoming obsolete. Any material that could become dated should be placed in a reply, with directions for locating it&mdash;the date and time it was posted&mdash;included in the more-frequently-posted price reports. <br><br> ===<u>User instructions for the topic</u>=== Detailed instructions for price reporting, list maintenance, and maintenance of the instructions themselves) should be posted in a reply. As conditions change or as it becomes apparent that revised instructions are desirable, you need only post a new reply containing the revised material. As there is no known way to link to a particular reply, users are referred to the instructions by the date and time of posting; members can look back through the topic and find them as long as they are visible. As only four pages of replies are currently visible to the readers of a topic, the latest instructions will eventually age out of view. Before this happens, the instructions must be re-posted to bump them into view, and consequently, the date-time of the new version must be referred to from then on. The instructions might include: * Procedures for those who are willing to: ** Post only their own prices, but not integrate them into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate only their own prices into a comprehensive list. ** Integrate their own and other's price reports into a comprehensive price list. ** Periodically cull out-dated reports. * Data formats for: ** A single price report ** The price list as a whole * A method for members to contact group leaders to ask questions or make suggestions as: ** Replies in the topic, interleaved between price reports/lists. ** PMs ** Whiteboard posts. ** E-mails. * A list of common elements of reports to be implied but not typed (and thus save space in report lines): ** Unit of currency (US dollars, Canadian dollars) ** Unit of selling quantity unit (gallons/liters) ** Time zone to be used ** Anything else that will be fixed and therefore can be left out of the formats. * And of course, more instructions on how to maintain the instructions. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price report format</u>=== A report format might consist of all of these elements: # An optional age indicator: ## A hyphen (-) prefix as an "old" indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 24 hours, would be preceded by this marker to warn that the price is too old to be reliable in fast-changing markets.<ref>Another symbol could be used instead of the hyphen, but you must avoid symbols that will "do things" in the wiki e.g. an asterisk (*) or number sign (#) creates a list.</ref> ## A double-double hyphen (-- --) as a deleted price indicator. Reports older than some agreed-upon age, say 48 hours, would have an "old" price replaced by this marker, leaving the other station information in place until the next report is received in order to: ### Give readers an idea of all of the local vendors available. ### Remind reporters of stations that need reporting. ### Save time for list maintainers when refreshing deleted-price stations. # The price (per a sales unit, less currency units). Each price is appended with a cash (a) or credit (e) indicator. If both types of reports exist, they will be arranged cash first, followed by the credit price. If there is no cash and credit pricing difference, a "same" indicator (s) is substituted to definitely so state, followed by a forward slash (/). # The brand or vendor's name followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's street address followed by a forward slash (/). # The vendor's cross or near street followed by a forward slash (/). # The neighborhood, quadrant, zip code or other geographical subdivision of the topic's area according to local practice. If a particular vendor has many locations in one geographical division, consideration should be given to adding directional indicators to allow the reader to easily distinguish one from the other, e.g. N Podunk, SE Podunk, etc. followed by a forward slash (/). # Month and day of the report followed by a forward slash (/). # Time spotted - Local time of the report in 12-hour time (in the GBO manner) followed by a forward slash (/). # The GBO nickname of the reporting member followed by a forward slash (/). # Optional note number of a note located below the table (for which the reporting member would be responsible to also post the note with a matching number. The actual number used is unimportant as long as the report and note match and do not conflict with any other report's note number.) In this format, there is no attempt to "pretty print", i.e. line up the various fields into neat columns, because the proportional typeface used as system output makes that difficult. It could be done by inserting periods (.) or hyphens (-) to align the fields, but it would be slow and tedious, might be confusing to newbies and is probably not worth the effort. Spaces would not work, because the forum deletes multiple spaces (and multiple blank lines, too). Note that while a message is being composed, it is displayed in a monospaced typeface&mdash;each character is the same width as any other&mdash; but after the message is posted, it is displayed in a justified typeface&mdash;each character may be of a different width, with no option to change this. To prevent reports from taking up more than a single line for appearance's sake, a long report could be shortened so as to not wrap to the next line, but it would at the cost of information. When deciding on the fields in a format, any shortening would have to balance the two factors of appearance vs. information provided. The use of numbered notes to hold some information may help in keeping reports short so that they don't wrap when viewed on a typical PC. <br><br> ===<u>Making an input-only report</u>=== An input-only report consists of a member's price reporting of his observed stations without reference to the existing price list. It would consist of these steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click ''[statename]'' or ''[metroareaname] discussion'' on the category index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspxForum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>. # In lieu of reading the topic instructions, review the local format used in an existing price list. # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # In the message dialog box that opens, type the report for a station in the local format. # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Review the entire message and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. Here are examples of input-only reports for stations having the ''Different Cash/Credit Pricing'' MSL feature both checked and not checked: <span style="color: #888888">''Example 1 - A report where cash & credit pricing are different (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.04e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<code></span><br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 2 - A report where cash & credit pricing is the same as (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code> 4.12s/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/95831/1003/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14</code></span><br> <br> ===<u>Making an integration report</u>=== An integration report is a price list into which a member has integrated his own price reports. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' (as appropriate for your site) on the ''Category Index'' page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions, or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button. # Ino the message dialog box that opens, paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>). # Press <code>[Enter]</code> and type any additional report(s), one per line. # Cash and credit lines are to appear as pairs with the cash report first, followed by the credit report. # Position the report lines(s) so that the prices or pairs of prices will be in order of cash price (or of credit price if no cash price is available). # Delete any older reports for the same vendor. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>Making a list maintenance report</u>=== A list maintenance report collects all new reports from all sources and incorporates them into a new price list. It would consist of the following steps: # Click ''Forum'' in the home page menu banner. # Click either ''[some-state] discussion'' or ''[some-metroarea] discussion'' on the category index page (as appropriate for your site, whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Category.aspx</span>). # Click the appropriate reporting topic on the topic index page (whose URL will end in <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">Forum_Topics.aspx?category=somenumber</span>). # Read the topic instructions or at least review the local format used in an existing price list. # Highlight the entire text of the message containing the latest price list (<code>[Ctrl-A]</code>). # Copy the message to the Windows clipboard (<code>[Ctrl-C]</code>). # Click the ''Post a Reply'' button to open the message dialog box. # Paste the clipboard contents (<code>[Ctrl-V]</code>) into the box. # Review topic messages posted since the last price list was posted, and for each new report, highlight, copy and paste the report lines to the dialog box, integrating them into the price list in order of cash price, except by credit price if there is not a cash price report also having been input for the vendor. # Mark any sufficiently-aged report lines as "old" per local rules. # Mark any aged-out report lines as "deleted" per local rules. # Review the entire report and correct any errors. # If the list instructions have been republished since the last price list was published, revise the date-time given for the new instructions message accordingly. # Click the ''Post Message'' button. <br> ===<u>A suggested forum price list format</u>=== A price list is simply a collection of price reports, the format of which has already been addressed. However there are a few additional items that could be added to the list to save the need to reference separate instructions: * At the top: A report header row to show the fields used in the reports. * At the bottom: ** A reference row to the latest list instructions. ** A legend row to announce any symbols used in the reports. ** Numbered notes from the end of the report lines. A typical list input would look like this when composed:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888">''Example 3 - A forum message price list (shown as typed):''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<br> -3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<br> 3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<br> 4.15s/Waterspot/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<br> <br> Notes:<br> 1.

This is especially true if the Internet connection is iffy, such as when Wifi is being used. Glitches have been known to cause posts to fail and thus wipe out texts upon which authors have invested much time. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a message text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal.<ref>This is a good backup for the extremely rare event that the GBO system loses the topic. There is a known phenomena wherein some author keyboard or mouse action will cause the entire contents of a message being composed to vanish. So far, the cause for this is unknown, but it is instant and irreversible.</ref>. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message is saved as a draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the forum message posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using a wiki to publish price lists== An alternative to posting a price list to the forum is to set up a wiki, which is space on a website designed for display of pages and access to them by many authors (although it can be restricted to as few authors as desired). It can be password protected if a administrator wants to perform the chores of managing membership. Or the wiki can be left open to the public, making it easy for anyone to edit, but susceptible to vandalism. However, restoring a vandalized wiki is quick and simple and, being open, eliminates the administrative overhead of membership. Many wikis are free, such as this one, being supported by advertising, for example. Read ''Using the forum'', above, for the basic principles, many of which would apply to using a wiki as well. ShoutWiki (which hosts this wiki) uses the same "engine" (software) as Wikipedia, so the same coding techniques learned in one venue serves on the other. Some useful references: # [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List Lists] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Introduction_to_tables Intro to Tables] # [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Tables] To advertise the existence of the wiki to readers, a forum topic OP is posted in the local discussion category, containing: # A link to the wiki # A short description of the wiki's function, describing the fuel type and coverage area. # An invitation for members to post price reports to the same topic # An invitation for members to integrate price reports posted in the topic into the wiki # An invitation for members to post price reports to the wiki # An invitation for members to post any questions or suggestions about the wiki in the topic. # A reminder that the topic should be kept positioned on Page 1 of the local discussion category topic index at all times. This is done by posting to the topic at least monthly in order not to allow the topic to age to such a degree that, should it be necessary to post to the topic, the GBO two-month-bumping rule would be violated (which might get the topic locked). In other words, don't let the topic get old. The above work flow should be tailored to the way in which the wiki is to be used. For example, price reports might be posted in the topic by any member, with their integration into the wiki price list being done by a few. <br><br> ==Wiki formats== There are as many ways of publishing a price list in a wiki as the mind can devise. The improved appearance of a complicated format must be balanced against the ease of maintenance by the many. Two formats are suggested here, one simple, called ''free-form,'' and the other of medium complexity, called ''table-based''.<br> <br> A publishing date and time and a backup date should be added to any wiki version, along with the author's GBO nickname. (These are not needed in the forum version, because all forum messages are automatically time-stamped and marked as to author by the system.) Here is a suggested format: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 5 - An added date and time for the bottom of the page:''</span><br> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |''Version:'' 20140905 4:38 PM PST --Kiki23<br> ''Backup:'' 20140905 --Kiki23 |} <br> ===<u>A suggested free-form wiki format</u>=== The simplest format is to duplicate that of the forum message method, i.e. type the report in plain text. This requires no coding skill to speak of. Here is an example:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 6 - A wiki freeform price list (shown as typed):''</span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.68a/ARCO/1670 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1001/12:05PM/Boatfreak33/14<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -3.98a/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.08e/Bill's Bait Shop/1678 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/12:03PM/Boatfreak33<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 3.99a/The River Shop/2334 Old River Rd/Hwy 65/75842/1002/7:00PM/Calloway<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -4.01a/Inlet Marine Supply/5089 Marlinspike Rd/Hwy 65/75844/1001/Catfancier<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.13s/Joe's Bilge/7033 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:05PM/OldAngler<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.15s/Watersport/6988 Hwy 65/Harbor Rd/75910/1003/4:15PM/OldAngler/<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> -- --a/Marine Spot/1700 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/0931/1:14 PM/Flycaster/1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> 4.23s/The Fern Dock/1656 Marina St/Jib Ave/75831/1003/8:00AM/Flycaster<nowiki><br><br></nowiki><br> <br> Order: Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Legend: Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted")<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> Related Forum Topic: <nowiki>[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452 Diesel Boat Fuel Price List for Blatzburg and N.

You should understand these three principles thoroughly:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. All lines in the list will be interpreted as strung together in one long line unless one of the following occurs:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. A blank line appears between them. A blank line is interpreted as a command to start a new paragraph.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The HTML breaking space tag (<nowiki><br></nowiki>) is inserted in the text. This tag is interpreted to mean you wish to end one line and begin a new one.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Because of 1), above, it logically follows that reports need not be typed on a separate lines. For example, typing:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 8 - Reports in a single line (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki>report2<nowiki><br></nowiki>report3<nowiki><br></nowiki>report4</code> |} <!--Display table ends--> will have the same appearance to the reader as typing:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 9 - Reports on separate lines (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> report1<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report2<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report3<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> report4<nowiki><br></nowiki><br> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> In other words, separate lines (except blank ones) mean nothing; the author is in total control by inserting break tags. Nevertheless, Example 6 is to be discouraged, because it makes for a list that is very hard to maintain. It is recommended that you stick to one report per line as in Example 7, so that it is easy to see where new reports are to be inserted and old ones are to be deleted. Also errors in formatting will stand out, because, the reports being somewhat lined up with each other, they will be compared by the eye.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where a blank line is desired to appear in the list, two break tags will create it. And again, it won't matter if they are on the same line or not. Before writing a wiki, experiment with a few lines of text and practice using the break tag to see how it works. The wiki's ''Show Preview'' button allows you to look at both the wiki input and output on the same page. ====<u>Tweaks to the free-form wiki format</u>==== See Appendix 1 and 2 for optional bolding and italicizing of items in the free-form format. ===<u>A suggested table-based wiki format</u>=== This method enters the data into a nice-looking table. First the table is entered&mdash;which is what the reader is really looking for&mdash;and then it is followed by additional information, (legend, references to forum topics, notes, and so forth). First let's look at the elements of a simple table. ====<u>A basic table</u>==== Official table help may be seen [http://www.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Help:Tables here.] A table is produced by some markup (code) elements for the header row and report rows. First they will be listed and described, and then usage examples will be given: # A table-starting code, which begins the table - <nowiki>{|</nowiki> # A table class that automatically defines many appearance items # A new-row code that signals that a row of the table follows - <nowiki>|-</nowiki> # A header row code <nowiki>!</nowiki> to begin the row. Being a header row, all words will be bolded by default. # The row data - In the case of this table header, the names of the columns are shown, each name being separated by two exclamation points, except for the last name in the row, which needs to be followed by nothing. # An ordinary row code <nowiki>|</nowiki>, to begin the row. Being am ordinary row, all words will not be bolded. # The row data - In the case of a price report row, the elements of the report are shown, each element being separated by tow pipe symbols <nowiki>||</nowiki>, except for the last element in the row, which needs to be followed by nothing. # A table-ending code, which ends the table. The input typed for a table might look like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 12 - A wiki table's code (shown as typed):''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- <!--Begins the code.--> |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable</nowiki><br> <nowiki>!Price!!Vendor!!Address!!Cross St!!ZIP!!Date<br>Spotted!!Time<br>Spotted!!Member!!Note<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -3.68a||ARCO||1670 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1001||12:05PM||Boatfreak33||14</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.98a||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.08e||Bill's Bait Shop||1678 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||12:03PM||Boatfreak33||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 3.99a||The River Shop||2334 Old River Rd||Hwy 65||75842||1002||7:00PM||Calloway||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -4.01a||Inlet Marine Supply||5089 Marlinspike Rd||Hwy 65||75844||1001||Catfancier||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.13s||Joe's Bilge||7033 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:05PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-<br> <nowiki>| 4.15s||Watersport||6988 Hwy 65||Harbor Rd||75910||1003||4:15PM||OldAngler||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| -- --a||Marine Spot||1700 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||0931||1:14 PM||Flycaster||1</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>| 4.23s||The Fern Dock||1656 Marina St||Jib Ave||75831||1003||8:00AM||Flycaster||</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <!--Ends the code--> |} <!--Display table ends--> Note that each data item is "enclosed" by two pipe symbols (|), except for the first item, which has not item preceding it, and the last item in the line which needs no closing pipe (it is assumed by the system).

It is best therefore to limit such tweaks to the information following the table, because that will remain more or less constant and won't need to be touched often, whereas the table data (pricing) will change rapidly. The table's header row, by virtue of it's exclamation marks, is bolded by default. <br> ====<u>A table in a page</u>==== Here is the code for a typical page to hold the table of Examples 12 & 13:<br> <br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 14 - A wiki page less table (shown as typed):''</code></span><br> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <span style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">(The code for the table of Example 12 goes here.)</span><br> <nowiki>''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Legend:'' Price suffixes (a=Cash e=Credit s=C&C same) Price prefix (- "Old," 24-48 hours, -- -- "Too old & deleted"<br></nowiki><br> <nowiki>''Related Forum Topic:''[http://www.floozyvillegasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1358&topic=397452|"Diesel Boat Fuel Prices for Blatzburg and N.

This is explained in the next section. ====<u>A warning about the special spacing requirement in the table for prices</u>==== Normally, the data in a table cell could begin immediately after the pipe (|) symbol; no space is required between them. However, in the special case of fields that happen to begin with a hyphen (-), such as some price fields in the suggested format, a space must be inserted to prevent the hyphen&mdash;adjacent to the pipe symbol&mdash;from being interpreted as the code for starting a new row. This table shows the right and wrong of it: {| class="wikitable" !What you type<br>in Column 1!!How the wiki<br>sees it!!What the wiki does |- | <nowiki>|-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|-&nbsp;&nbsp;4.08a</nowiki> || Starts a new row<br>and eats the hyphen |- | <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || <nowiki>|&nbsp;&nbsp;-4.08a</nowiki> || Shows price as intended,<br>leaving the hypen untouched. |} Except for the special case of the too-close hyphen, spaces would be optional on both sides of the data. In other words <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|cat|</code></span> is the same as <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>|&nbsp;cat&nbsp;|</code></span> in the cells of the table.<br> <br> ===<u>Wiki editing safety tips</u>=== Editing messages is typically done directly in a wiki's dialog box to take advantage of the great benefit of a preview feature that allows an author to test his code. While it is in fact safer to edit separately in a text editor, and when done editing, transfer the text to the dialog box, the advantage of the ''Show Preview'' button is lost. Clicking the uppermost ''Edit'' button will allow access to the entire wiki, but it will be slower than if a section of the wiki at a time is edited. It also allows backing up the entire wiki. Some precautionary measures can be taken: # Highlight and save a dialog box text to a Windows Notepad (file type .txt) or Wordpad (select ASCII encoding, .txt file type), either to an internal or external drive. A thumb drive (flash drive) is ideal. # The text can be deposited in an E-mail message and the message saved as a draft. # The text can be deposited in a text editor, saved as a .txt file, and the file attached to an E-mail draft. # Copy the text to the Windows clipboard and keep it there undisturbed (copy nothing else) until the wiki posting process has successfully completed. <br> ==Using E-mail to publish price lists== It can be argued that the forum and wiki methods are preferable to using E-mail, because the lists may be viewed at any time, whereas users must wait for the arrival of an E-mailed price list. However, a common E-mail account may overcome this. This method may simply mimic the forum method with the exception of the latest instructions appearing in the forum topic which advertizes the list. All techniques not available in the forum, but which are available to E-mails, e.g. HTML, HTML entities, bolding, italics, etc. may be used. One user would copy the previous list to the next one, incorporating his latest reports. The E-mail subject line should begin with the date-time group of the list. This will make it easier for users to manage their inboxes by deleting old lists. ==Using a common E-mail account== Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list. Procedures would need to be adopted to guide users in doing list maintenance. If a single E-mail account is created and used by all users, these problems would not exist, however limiting access to the account might be required to prevent vandalism. Perhaps newbies, after a probationary period of making reports and receiving them in their own accounts, could be awarded access to the common account. ==Appendicies== <br> ===Appendix 1 - Bolding wiki data=== Data can be bolded by enclosing it in triple apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 16 - A line shown marked up to be bolded (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>'''</nowiki>Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/NoteE<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 17 - A line shown bolded (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">'''Price/Vendor/Address/Cross-St/ZIP/Date-Spotted/Time-Spotted/Reporting-Member/Note'''</span> <br><br> ===Appendix 2 - Italicizing wiki data === Data can be italicized by enclosing it in double apostrophies (') like this: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 18 - A word shown marked up to be italicized (shown as typed):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Order:''</nowiki> Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</code></span> Which renders as: <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 19 - A word shown italicized (shown as published):''</span><br> <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;">''Order:'' Cash prices lowest to highest, cash followed by credit for each station.</span> |} <br><br> ===Appendix 3 - Optional use of a wiki ''Reflist'' template=== In the examples of wiki pages given above, a note number was placed in a table row and, below, where the author wishes to place the notes, similar note numbers were typed (along with the note itself). This was an entirely manual process, the author being responsible for matching the numbers. When a report line is deleted, the corresponding note is deleted, leaving gaps in the note numbers to save renumbering everything. The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page. This calls the template from the system to perform the reference process.<ref>It may be that once a template is called, the template code itself may be deleted from a wiki page and the template will still function. There is no guarantee that the template will function later in a different session. Therefore, the template code should always be present on every page on which it is needed.</ref> # Enclose the note text in ref tags and place it in the report where the note number&mdash;but not the note itself&mdash;is to be seen by the reader, e.g. <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somereporttext<nowiki><ref>Some note text.</ref></nowiki></code></span>. # Just above the point in the page where it is desired for the notes to appear, type the label <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>''Notes:''</nowiki></span>. (This has no effect on the ''Reflist'' process; it is merely to inform the reader that what follows next are the notes.) # Follow the word Notes with tag <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code></span>. This is how the template knows where to display the notes in the order in which they appeared in the report. The above steps cause the note text that is typed between the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, whether inside or outside of aa table to group together in immediately following the <nowiki><references /></nowiki> tag. Each note will be numbered in both places automatically. If a note and its tags are deleted, the remaining notes will be automatically renumbered accordingly. If a note is added, the notes will likewise be automatically renumbered. This is a minimal example to show the appearance of notes inside and outside of a table:<br> <span style="color: #888888;">''Example 20 - A short wiki with notes (shown as typed):''</span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<code> <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the first row of the table.<ref>This is the first note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|-</nowiki><br> <nowiki>|This is the second row of the table.<ref>This is the second note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>|}</nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the first line outside the table. <ref>This is the third note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>This line is the second line outside the table. <ref>This is the fourth note.</ref></nowiki><br> <nowiki>===Notes:===</nowiki><br> <nowiki><references /></nowiki><br> <nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> <nowiki>|}</nowiki> </code> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> Which renders as:<br> <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 21 - A short wiki with notes (shown as published):''</span>:</code></span> <!--Display table starts--> {| class="wikitable" style="background: #e0e0e0" |- |<br> {| class="wikitable" |- |This is the first row of the table.<span style="color: blue;">^[1]</span> |- |This is the second row of the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[2]</span> |} This is the first line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[3]</span><br> This is the second line outside the table.<span style="color: #blue;">^[4]</span><br> <br> Notes:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &uarr; This is the first note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &uarr; This is the second note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the third note.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &uarr; This is the fourth note.<br> <span style="color: red">Template:Reflist</span> |} <!--Display table ends--> <br> ===Appendix 4 - Regulating column width=== Unless the author overrides it, the system sets the cell widths of tables. By default, the width of a column is automatically set by the widest data in any cell in the column like this: <span style="color: #888888;"><code>''Example 22 - A table with different column widths (shown as published).</span>:</code></span> {| class="wikitable" |+ Title: column width = widest cell ! somewideheader !! someheader |- | somedata || somewidedata |} * As above, except additional white space may be specified around each cell's data, effectively increasing it's width as desired (but vertically as well as horizontally). The element cellpadding is added after the table class: {| border="1" cellpadding="20" ! This is a header !! This is a wider header |- | Some data || Even more very wide, wide data |} There are several methods of governing the width of a column, but by letting the system do it, it may be more readable when using different devices (such as smartphones), because the browsers can adjust how the columns are viewed. Anyone seeking to adjust columns manually may contact the author for additional advice if necessary. ===Appendix 5 - Centering the data in a column=== The data of a cell may be centered by inserting <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>align="center"|</code>before the data and </span> following it. This would have to be done for every cell in the column. <br> ===Appendix 6 - Choosing Wiki and page names=== # Any wiki name that is to be chosen participates in a competition with all other authors for the same name. A way to diminish the competition is to prefix the name with some characters that are unlikely to be duplicated by others. For example, there may be others who wish to use the name ''guides'', but there are likely none who wish to use ''gb-guides''. Your initials for example could be used. # The main page of a wiki defaults to the name ''Main_Page''. The M and the P case sensitive, but it shouldn't matter, because there will be little reason to type this page name. This is because going to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com</code></span> automatically defaults to <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>somewiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page</code></span>. # Wiki page names are case-sensitive, except for the first letter of the name, which is non-case-sensitive. Thus ''cat'' is the same as ''Cat''. but ''CAT'' will fail because the ''AT'' will not be recognized as the ''C'' will. # If underscores (_) are used to separate pieces of a page name, the first letter of each piece defaults to upper case in the name used. To avoid this, use hyphens (-) instead of underscores to separate pieces of names, e.g. Non-standard, not Non_standard. If this precaution is taken, except for ''Main_Page'' (which must be typed that way). all names may be typed all lower case, which is what most users do. ==Notes:== <references /> {{Reflist}} ''Version:'' 20150113 6:49 PM PST --CampKohler<br> ''Backup:'' 20150113 --CampKohler<br> [[#top|Top]] [[Main_Page|Return to Guides Index.]] <!--This page is gb-guides.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Non-standard.--> <!--Backup file is gb-guides_non-standard_YYYYMMDD.txt.--> <!--saved code fragment: <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code>--> =Using a common E-mail account= Some problems are envisioned if there are many reports made: # If a list is republished by every member who makes a report, an excessive number of E-mails could clutter up members inboxes. # Members making input-only reports could send them to the account where volunteers could integrate them and republish the list. Procedures would need to be adopted to guide users in doing list maintenance. If a single E-mail account is created and used by all users, these problems would not exist, however limiting access to the account might be required to prevent vandalism.

This was an entirely manual process, the author being responsible for matching the numbers. When a report line is deleted, the corresponding note is deleted, leaving gaps in the note numbers to save renumbering everything. The ''Reflist'' template&mdash;a preprogrammed setup&mdash;at Shoutwiki can be used to automatically connect the numbers of the ''Notes'' column to the notes below the table. The note text is written at the point in the wiki where it is desired for the note number to appear. The template then replaces the note text(s) with a number(s) in square brackets ([1]) and moves the note(s) to a place the author specifies. In addition, at the beginning of every note text, there is a backlink to take the reader back to the place in the table from whence it came. As the name implies, the ''Reflist'' template handles references. But that is just a name; think notes instead of references and the template will do the job. This is done in the following steps:<br> # For any number of notes, insert the template code <span style="background-color: #e0e0e0;"><code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code></span> anywhere on the page.

As separate lumbar segments exist, however, the busbar control will remain a singular busbar structure, as each circuit (feeder or incomer) is already connected to its respective busbar section by means of the bus bar connection cable. This is typically the case when there are many different bus bars in use within a facility. In order to simplify the process, and lessen the number of connections, it is common for manufacturers to provide both a single and double bus bar setup for their facility.<br><br><br>The purpose of a busbar section is to separate two or more circuit breakers that are placed on the same circuit. Typically, this occurs when a larger load is applied to a circuit, where the load resistance exceeds the normal limit of the circuit breakers. This excessive load is caused by a tripped breaker or wiring contact that allows current to flow despite the breakers being tripped or closed. In order to prevent a tripped or closed breaker from occurring, a busbar section is used between the two breakers. This section is typically a small connector (usually only measuring 2 inches across) between the two busbars.<br><br><br>As previously mentioned, a typical busbar section will include cable connectors that allow the connection of a wider variety of circuit breakers without any interference from other breakers present on the same circuit. In order to provide numerical busbar protection to the consumer, most manufacturers provide a standard or template that allows a user to quickly and easily identify which specific wire is attached to which breaker in order to provide maximum protection. A standard or template can also be used to match the appropriate wiring for each individual circuit in order to provide the most electrical protection.<br><br><br>Most often, single or double busbar switches are used to connect power and ground wire harnesses. The cable connectors on the busbar are designed to resist damage, so even if the actual bus is destroyed, a power surge or short can still occur, but it will not affect the other components of the harness. Single busbar switches can be used to isolate an individual circuit, so a failure in one component will not affect the others. A double bus switchgear has two wires connecting each terminal to two or more terminals on another component. This type of switch provides greater resistance to damage due to tripping as there are twice as many wires to withstand the strain. Some manufacturers place a small cap over each terminal to prevent moisture from entering the cable or connector.<br><br><br>If a single busbar switchgear fails, it usually involves only one wire. A similar situation can occur if two different single busbar switches fail, however. When a switchgear is defective that is capable of providing enough current to support an electric device, the situation can develop into a tripped breaker, short-circuit, or burned-out fuse. In the case of the two-way single busbar system where two wires are connected, one wire can go bad while the other is functioning normally. Depending on the circumstances, the single busbar redundancy system is designed to handle the overload and shut down the system rather than allowing the circuit to fail altogether.<br><br><br>There are times when a busbar fails, and there is no way to recover the failed wiring. In this instance, the device becomes unusable and must be replaced with a new one. A standard or template disconnector is used to replace the bus, which is a special type of quick disconnect that allows the user to disconnect and reconnect components without having to cut through the insulation surrounding the connecting wires. This is accomplished by inserting the disconnector into the open slot at the bottom of the central unit and then clipping the excess wiring to the disconnector. Some templates even allow for a captive disconnector if there are several wires on the device that needs to be disconnected.<br><br><br>The second factor in selecting a busbar replaces the standard single-sided blade with a two-sided blade. Some devices have two blades, while others have only a single blade to support current. A two-sided blade has greater thermal resistance that can prevent overheating that can reduce efficiency. If you adored this write-up and you would like to get even more details relating to [http://ultfoms.ru/user/Ladonna3379/ Taiwan RHI Copper busbar] kindly go to our own internet site. When the two blades are needed for thermal resistance, a blade with more teeth may be preferred. When the current is low and the device is being used as an instrument, it is important to select a bus with a small blade that reduces the need for thermal reduction.<br><br><br>The final part of the busbars and the part most often replaced when a failure occurs is the bus guard or cover. Bus guards can protect the terminal from excessive heat. They also provide protection against shock and vibration. Many devices are designed to meet very specific performance requirements without causing failures. It is important to choose a busbar that meets your specific performance requirements before purchasing to ensure that your device will work for years to come.<br> 170eb2d21ae18ce3f5b0217c19890f39f3dfd6bf 0 83 1238 2023-08-20T01:29:53Z ZitaBayldon5 30653830 Created page with "<br>There are all types of car covers.

Even the [https://www.robotvacuummops.com/ best vacuums] struggle to get deep into carpets and rugs. They also often get caught in socks and cords.<br><br>Being on top of routine maintenance (replacing filters cutting hair tangled from brushes and emptying the dust bin) will help your robot last longer.<br><br>Battery Life<br><br>The majority of robot vacuums are able to handle a few cleaning sessions without having to be charged. The Ecovacs Q30S Combo is the runner-up of our overall picks. It comes with batteries that last for up to 180 minutes (3,230 square feet) on one charge. The runtime is enough to clean smaller homes with a mix of hard floors and carpets with low pile, or a larger home where the rooms are roughly the same size.<br><br>A longer battery life also means that the robot will spend more time cleaning and less time charging its dock. It's worth opting for a model with a self-emptying dust bin, as they are more efficient in cleaning up debris and returning to the dock for recharging. It's important to clean or replace filters and wipe down the sensors and camera regularly so they can see clearly.<br><br>Smart mapping technology is a great feature to be looking for since it permits you to program your robot to only clean specific rooms or areas where it's likely to crash into furniture or other obstacles. It's also useful for ensuring that your robot can get under and around sofas, beds and other tall furniture. Some cheap robovacs come with boundary strips you can use to block off specific areas. Other models of higher quality rely on cameras and sensors.<br><br>Even the most powerful robot vacuums cannot replace a traditional vacuum for heavy-duty large-pile dirt and debris. It is recommended to keep a conventional power vac on standby for those tasks, and to schedule robot vacs regularly for light cleanups throughout the week.<br><br>Navigation<br><br>A robot must be able to navigate you home without getting stuck or crashing into things like metal screws or pet hair that is loose, or sand. In our tests, we use a tracking device to track the robot as it goes through a multiroom lab. It shows its surroundings. We also examine the extent to which it can avoid obstacles like furniture legs, power cords, and pet waste.<br><br>The top robots are able to map out multiple floors, and recognize landmarks such as doors and windows. The most advanced models such as the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, have a dual-sensor navigation system that utilizes the LIDAR sensor to map the room and a structured lighting camera in front of the bot to detect objects in real time. This allows the S8 to avoid common obstacles like power cords and furniture legs, and it can store up to four different floor maps in its internal memory.<br><br>Most affordable models rely on bump sensors which aren't as precise. In my testing they cut right through cords, dog poop, and even the shoes that were placed in the middle of the room. The best value pick the Dreametech D10+, is an exception to this. It is a great carpet and hard floor pickup, excellent hair and tangle pickup, and an almost perfect auto empty score.<br><br>A large onboard dustbin, which doesn't have to be manually empty, is also a feature that is essential. For models that sweep the floor, this water tank is able to hold enough water for several weeks of cleaning sessions. Karcher's RCV 5 is an excellent illustration of this. It has a big enough footprint to fit under furniture, but not too big that it is unable to fit into the space between your bathtub and toilet.<br><br>Apps<br><br>Robot vacuums are a lot like upright vacuums and require lots of technology to bring them up to speed. There are a lot of choices available in a market that is maturing. However, even the most advanced models still require some interaction with their users - especially when it comes to scheduling cleanings, establishing a home floor plan and setting up virtual barriers.<br><br>To reduce the impact of this interaction, consider looking for a model that uses its own app to identify the location of your home, and save the settings for future use. This will let the robot vacuum start where it left off on subsequent runs, rather than having to start the mapping process each time.<br><br>You should also look for models that offer zones or spot cleaning. These allow you to tell the robot vacuum to concentrate on a specific area like under the dining table after a big family meal. You can usually choose to do this via the app or via voice commands.<br><br>Many models also provide objects avoidance. It allows the robot to see something in its path, like a box of shoes or a crate filled with dog toys, and guide itself around it. This will prevent it from running into objects that could damage its sensors or cause jams.<br><br>This feature is offered on some of the more expensive models we tested. They rely on bump sensor technology for this, but they didn't always keep things out of my test home.<br><br>Pet Hair<br><br>Choose a vacuum cleaner that is specifically designed to collect hair from pets. The most effective models will feature the highest suction, a brush that stops tangling, and an automatic emptying mechanism. Some are also able to detect dirt levels and adjust the intensity of cleaning in line with the level of dirt. They are also able to detect objects that aren't part of your home flooring, like furniture, toys, and food bowls.<br><br>Certain robot vacuums have extra pet-friendly features. These include a water dispenser that is used to clean floors, and a HEPA filtering system that eliminates allergens such as pet dander. They could also feature a quieter mode of operation to reduce the amount noise produced during cleaning sessions.<br><br>Robot vacuums that have mapping capabilities are a great option for pet owners. They're designed to evaluate your home, and create an attack plan based on the layout of each room as well as obstacles. For example, the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum is a smart vacuum with an impressive capability to map rooms and navigate around furniture and other obstructions with gyroscope and accelerometer smart sensors that work in conjunction to learn the layout of your space.<br><br>Apps let you create zones that are not allowed. These are areas that the robot is not allowed, such as delicate objects or pet feeding areas. This feature can be especially useful for households with busy schedules, as it allows you to plan your cleaning schedule and adjust settings without having to be in the same room with the vacuum. Spot cleaning is a great feature. You can instruct the vacuum cleaner to clean a space that is particularly filthy or stuffed with pet hair.<br><br>Dust Bin<br><br>Unless you're looking for something tiny, you'll want to choose one capable of holding at least a full bag of trash from one cleaning session. That's why we recommend opting for a model with a large bin, or perhaps a self-emptying dustbin. The former will enable you to keep track of emptying the bin frequently enough to stay on top of its performance while the latter will save you time and effort by automatically dumping the contents into an internal container after every few cleans.<br><br>Find models that have smart mapping capabilities that allow them to "learn" the layout of your home and plan more efficient routes. They can also sense and avoid objects that could hinder their routes (like shoelaces or tangled charging cables). Look for models with smart mapping capabilities that permit them to "learn" the structure of your home and devise more efficient routes, and models that detect and avoid objects that may block their paths (like shoelaces or strangling charging cables).<br><br>Some models provide spot cleaning. This allows you to choose a specific area of your home for thorough cleaning. We've found that most of the top performers in our tests can remove fine particles such as baking soda and sand as well as heavier debris like oatmeal, orzo pasta, metal screws, and pet hair.<br><br>According to the company, robots can last years and still perform well as long as they are maintained. For example, cleaning tangled hair out of brushes, emptying dust bins after each use as well as wiping cameras and sensors down when needed. The top robots are more modular. This allows you to replace or repair components like batteries and wheels, as they wear out. b35313cb8ea99fab36bb6f9a3fa8d8b4044a7854 2 590 1770 2024-12-18T08:25:44Z Agronytradingllc8627 30798372 Created page with "Looking to purchase used pallets?
